Christ Carrying the Cross (Le Christ Portant Sa Croix) is a 15th-century polychrome oak sculpture attributed to the French sculptor Ligier Richier in the Église de Saint-Laurent in Pont-à-Mousson in Meurthe-et-Moselle. It is thought to have come from the chapel of "Mount Olive" erected by Philippe de Gueldres in the garden of the Clarisses monastery in Pont-à-Mousson. The sculpture was designated as a Monument historique in 1934.
