Nymph (Central Figure for "The Three Graces") is a bronze sculpture, by Aristide Maillol. It was modeled in 1930, and cast in 1953, it is at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

In the tradition of the Three Graces in Ancient Roman sculpture, and The Three Graces (sculpture), by Antonio Canova, it shows serenity, in contrast to his contemporary, Auguste Rodin.
