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,[1] but are still common in the Midwestern United States.[2] They experienced a revival in the 2020s.[3]

It is not uncommon for owners of concrete geese to dress them in costumes for seasonal holidays,[4] to match the weather, or just as decoration.[5]
In the video game Untitled Goose Game, the player's goose character is challenged to impersonate a concrete goose.[6]
