The Fremont Troll or the Troll Under the Bridge, is a piece of whimsical public art in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington in the United States.
The idea of a troll living under a bridge is derived from the Scandinavian folk tale "Three Billy Goats Gruff."
The Troll is a mixed-media megalithic statue, located on N. 36th Street at Troll Avenue N., under the north end of the Aurora Bridge. (Aurora Avenue North was renamed "Troll Avenue" in its honor in 2005.) Despite its name, the Troll is not under the nearby Fremont Bridge. It is clutching an actual original Volkswagen Beetle, as if it had just swiped it from the roadway above. Somewhat amusingly the vehicle had a California license plate.
