Statue of Joachim Rønneberg is a sculpture that honors the Norwegian resistance fighter and war hero from the Second World War. Rønneberg is known for his role in the operation that led to the destruction of the heavy water plant at Vemork, an important part of German nuclear weapons research. The sculpture is located in Ålesund, where it serves as a memorial for his contribution to Norway's freedom.

The sculpture was made by the artist Ørnulf Opdahl and was unveiled in 2015. It is made of bronze and stands on a stone base, which gives it a solid appearance. The statue's design captures Rønneberg's character and strength, and it is a symbol of resistance and bravery. As well as being a work of art, it also serves as a place for reflection on war history and national identity.
