A Fonte das Bicas ou Chafariz de Borba localiza-se em Borba, Portugal

Edificada em 1781, pela Câmara Municipal (protectora dos interesses da população no que diz respeito ao abastecimento da água), esta fonte (um dos símbolos da vila de Borba), foi constituída Monumento Nacional em 1910, por via do Decreto de 16-06-1910, DG, n.º 136, de 23-06-1910.[1]

A Fonte das Bicas tinha o objectivo de ser um monumento a Borba, pelo uso dos mármores, e pela reconstituição do lago onde, segundo a lenda, se achou o barbo que deu o nome à vila.

Pela novidade que trouxe ao Alentejo, a Fonte das Bicas foi modelo para outras fontes monumentais que depois dela surgiram na região.
