The Surrey Stag is the Allan Sly sculpture commissioned by the University of Surrey to stand at the entrance to their Stag Hill campus.

Measuring five metres from hoof to antler and over 6.5 when mounted to its granite base[1] the stainless steel sculpture stands at the main entrance to their Guildford campus. Unveiled on the 25 February 2009[2] by HRH The Duke of Kent KG and Prof. Christopher Snowden who are the chancellor and vice chancellor[3] respectively. The sculpture is a representation of the university logo (a stag and a key) which is derived from the University coat of arms where the stag denotes the medieval royal hunting park on which the main campus is built (stag hill) and the key a heraldic symbol of learning[4].
