The Willem II monument on the Heuvel in Tilburg represents King Willem II of the Netherlands. It was unveiled in The Hague in 1854, but sold in 1924 and moved to Tilburg, where Willem lived for part of his life.

In 1854 a bronze statue of King Willem II was erected on the Buitenhof in The Hague, after a design by E.F. Georges. The Hague wanted to replace the statue with a replica of the equestrian statue of William II in Luxembourg. The statue was sold to the municipality of Tilburg for one thousand guilders, excluding about seven thousand guilders for the costs of dismantling, transport and reconstruction. The unveiling on the Heuvel took place in 1924 by Queen Wilhelmina.
