The Child Jesus of Prague (Czech: Pražské Jezulátko) is one of the world's most famous miraculous statues of Jesus. It is located in the Church of Our Lady of Victory (Maria Victoriakerk - Kostel Panny Marie Vítězné) in the Carmelite Monastery in Prague. The statue is a 47 cm tall wax statue from the Renaissance and depicts the Child Jesus at about three years old.

It is the work of an unknown artist from the 16th century. The wooden statue is covered with a colored wax layer. The Child Jesus blesses with his right hand, in his left he holds the globe with a cross, the symbol of world dominion. His facial expression and curly hair point to his Spanish origin.
