Ernest Moore Viquesney (August 5, 1876 - October 4, 1946) American sculptor best known for his very popular World War I monument Spirit of the American Doughboy, installed in many rural American city halls and public parks in the years 1920 through 1940. The exact number of versions of the work will probably never be determined, but it is approaching 140, in 38 different states.

Viquesney also produced at least one World War II monument and various other World War I memorials.
