The Hampstead Figure is an abstract bronze sculpture by F. E. McWilliam. It was commissioned by Basil Spence and was completed in 1964 for the new Hampstead Civic Centre.[1] It was moved in 2019 to its present location on the Adelaide Road side of the Swiss Cottage Library.[2]

The sculpture represents a reclining female figure in abstract form in bronze.[1] It is sited on a plinth.[1] It is inscribed "The Hampstead Figure, 1964" and signed by McWilliam.[1]
