The Statue of the Nile God (Italian: Statua del dio Nilo) is an Ancient Roman, likely Hellenistic, marble statue dating from the 2nd century AD.
It is located at Piazzetta Nilo (Largo Corpo di Napoli), at the start of via Nilo, in the quarter of the same name, and it is this statue that gives all their name. The church of Santa Maria Assunta dei Pignatelli faces the statue, and the Palazzo del Panormita is on the north flank. Two blocks east, along Via Benedetto Croce (part of the Decumano Inferiore commonly called Spaccanapoli) rises the church of San Domenico Maggiore.
