Fishwife (Danish: Fiskerkone) is a 1940 granite statue of a fishwife situated at Gammel Strand in Copenhagen, Denmark, commemorating the fact that the city's principal fish market was then located at the site. It represents one of the so-called Skovser Women who, wearing their traditional garments, used to dominate the market trade. The fish market closed in 1958.
