The concrete goose, also known as a porch goose or lawn goose, is a lawn ornament popular in the United States. Concrete geese reached the peak of their popularity in the 1980s, but are still common in the Midwestern United States.

It is not uncommon for owners of concrete geese to dress them in costumes for seasonal holidays, to match the weather, or just as decoration.
