The Columbus Globe for State and Industry Leaders (also known as Hitler's Globe or the Führer Globe) were two purpose-made globes designed in Berlin in the 1930s, one each for Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party.

The Columbus Globe for State and Industry Leaders was located in Hitler's office throughout most of its existence. It became widely known in the United States after comedian Charlie Chaplin parodied it in his 1940 film The Great Dictator. Comedy group The Three Stooges also made fun of it in two of their short subject comedies. One of the two limited editions was looted by John Barsamian, a private in the U.S. Army, at Hitler's summer retreat shortly after the war and sold 60 years later at an auction in San Francisco for $100,000. The globe in Hitler's office included Abyssinia as part of Italian East Africa and was known for its size as well as manufacturing cost.
