List of People's Heroes of Yugoslavia monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Throughout the existence of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Partisan resistance in World War II was celebrated as the republic’s the foundational event. In post-Bosnian War Bosnia and Herzegovina, many monuments of the People’s Liberation War, including those dedicated to People’s Heroes, have undergone ethnonational reinterpretations.

Between 1942 and 1973, a total of 1,322 individuals were awarded the Order of the People's Hero of Yugoslavia. Numerous busts and memorials were erected in their honor, typically placed either in the hero’s birthplace or at the site of their death. Most of these monuments were executed in a figurative style, although some adopted a distinctly abstract form, such as the 1962 monument to Ivo Lola Ribar at the Glamoč field.

One of the largest concentrations of People's heroes' busts is in the Park of People's heroes in Banja Luka, which contains 21 busts.
