List of New Deal sculpture is a list of sculpture found in the United States and its territories, including free standing, relief and architectural sculpture that was funded by the federal government during the New Deal era. These include works produced under the Public Works of Art Project, (1933–1934), Treasury Relief Art Project, (1935–1938), Federal Art Projects (1935–1943), the Treasury Section of Painting and Sculpture (1934–1943) and other federally sponsored projects. Unless otherwise noted, sources are from Park and Markowitz[1] or American Art Annual, 1941.[2] "USPO" refers to a United States Post Office building, the term "relief" refers to relief sculpture.

Department of Commerce Building[10] James Earle Fraser and
his wife Laura Gardin Fraser created 1/2" to 1'
plaster sketches of all the pediments
that the various sculptors used to create the final products from. 		Several of the sculptural elements
on the building by Ricci & Zari and
carved by Edward Ardolino were
executed before the New Deal so don't
fit into the parameters of this article.
The later sculpture finished in
1934 does fall into the New Deal era
