Fireman's Drinking Fountain is a historic drinking fountain located at Slatington, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1909, and is a 12-foot high monument, with a 7-foot, 3-inch, statue of a volunteer fireman holding a child in his left hand and a lantern in his right. The zinc statue was manufactured by the J. W. Fiske & Company.[1] It was restored in 1979, after being hit by an automobile.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
