'''Eleftheriou Venizelou Square''' ({{langx|el|Πλατεία Ελευθερίου Βενιζέλου}}) is a square in the city of Heraklion in Crete, named after the Cretan statesman Eleftherios Venizelos. It dates back to the Venetian era and is more commonly known as '''Lions Square''' ({{langx|el|Πλατεία Λεόντων}}) or '''Leonton Square''' (genitive), after the Venetian-era Morosini Fountain (popularly called "τα Λιοντάρια", "The Lions") in its midst, which features four lions supporting the main basin.
