The Rape of Polyxena is a sculpture by Pio Fedi that is located in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy. The sculpture depicts Polyxena agreeing to be killed by Neoptolemus, despite her mother Hecuba's protests. The name of the sculpture is slightly misleading, as it does not refer to sexual rape. The word "rape" comes from the Latin word rapere, which means "to snatch, to grab, to carry off".

This resin statue measures over 11".
