Woman in Bronze is a novel by Canadian-Lithuanian Antanas Sileika. It was first published in 2004 by Random House Canada.

Set in the early 1920s, it follows a young Lithuanian sculptor named Tomas Stumbras who, in the war-torn early years of his country's independence, leaves his home on a Lithuanian farm and travels to Paris to launch his art career. The plot features jealous lovers, topless dancers, a transvestite, murders and suicides.

Historical figures in the book include sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, entertainer Josephine Baker, and Polish general Józef Piłsudski. According to Humber EtCetera, "[u]nlike other authors who may use famous names as sensational name-drops... Sileika uses them as legitimate characters that work around and with him."
