La fontaine du Château d'eau, fontaine de Bondy, ou fontaine aux Lions de Nubie créée par l'ingénieur Pierre-Simon Girard fut érigée, comme son nom l'indique, place du Château-d'Eau (l'actuelle place de la République), au début de la rue de Bondy (actuelle rue René-Boulanger), à Paris en 1811.

Elle fut réalisée en fonte de fer par l'usine du Creusot, ce qui était à l'époque un exploit : la marque et la date sont visibles sur le piédestal des lions.

En plus de sa fonction décorative, l'ouvrage servait de château d'eau pourvoyant aux besoins en eau des quartiers du Temple et du Marais.
