Broken Obelisk is a sculpture by Barnett Newman in 1963. It is the largest and best known among his six sculptures.

A version of the sculpture is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, while two others are permanently installed in Red Square on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle, and in front of the Rothko Chapel in Houston.
