The Belgian Infantry Memorial (French: Monument à l'Infanterie Belge; Dutch: Monument voor de Belgische Infanterie) is a monument in Brussels, Belgium, which stands in memory of the Belgian foot soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II. Designed by Edouard Vereycken, the memorial stands in front of the Palace of Justice and across the Place Poelaert/Poelaertplein from the Anglo-Belgian War Memorial. The memorial rests on a raised platform that overlooks Brussels' city centre. Translated into English, the inscription reads: "To the infantrymen who died for their country".
