The Hyde Park Obelisk is an obelisk in the Victorian Egyptian architectural style located in Hyde Park in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The obelisk sits at the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Bathurst Street. The obelisk was built as a sewer vent.

It was modeled on Cleopatra's Needle on the banks of London's River Thames. The overall structure is 22 metres (72 ft) high, which comprises a square sandstone base 6.5 metres (21 ft) high. The vent at the top is a filigreed bronze pyramidion.

It is also jokingly referred to as Thornton's Scent Bottle.
