Le square Théodore-Monod, anciennement square Scipion, est un espace vert du 5e arrondissement de Paris créé en 1899 à l'angle de la rue Scipion et de la rue du Fer-à-Moulin dans le quartier du Jardin-des-Plantes.
Le square a été rénové en 1986 pour s'étendre sur 1 450 m2 sur deux niveaux avec une terrasse surplombant l'espace de jeux pour enfants et une fontaine au dos de la fresque.

Le 22 novembre 2011, il est débaptisé de son nom originel lors d'une cérémonie municipale pour prendre celui de « square Théodore-Monod » en hommage au naturaliste Théodore Monod (1902-2000) qui travailla toute sa vie pour le Muséum national d'histoire naturelle proche2.

Square Théodore-Monod, formerly Square Scipion, is a green space in the 5th arrondissement of Paris created in 1899 at the corner of rue Scipion and rue du Fer-à-Moulin in the Jardin-des-Plantes district.
The square was renovated in 1986 to cover 1,450 m2 on two levels with a terrace overlooking the children's play area and a fountain behind the fresco.

On November 22, 2011, it was renamed from its original name during a municipal ceremony to take that of "Square Théodore-Monod" in homage to the naturalist Théodore Monod (1902-2000) who worked all his life for the National Museum of close natural history2.
