Nationwide Fountain is a fountain designed by sculptor Jim Ponter and architect Don Olson in downtown Columbus, Ohio, United States. It is located at Nationwide Plaza, a complex of buildings including One Nationwide Plaza, and within Dean Jeffers Park. The abstract fountain features stacked geometric blocks of stone and bronze sculptures of various animals, including a frog, lizard, and salmon.[1][2]

The fountain was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[1]
