The Lleida Mermaid Fountain , in Catalan Font de la Sirena , is a fountain in Camps Elisis Park in the Spanish city ​​of Lleida .

The fountain consists of the figure of a mermaid who is holding a shell in her hands, from which water pours into a large basin surrounded by flower beds. The sculpture dates from 1946. It replaced a figure of a nymph that had been in this place since 1864 and was in poor condition.

In 2011, the city initiated a renovation of the three wells in Camps Elisis, with the Sirena fountain basin being rebuilt and the border being redesigned.
