The Place du Colonel Fabien (English: Colonel Fabien Square) is a square in Paris, France.
Before the liberation of Paris, the square was called the Place du Combat ('Combat Square'), but it was renamed in honour of the French communist resistance hero Pierre Georges, whose nom de guerre was Colonel Fabien.
The headquarters of the French Communist Party, designed by the Brazilian communist and utilitarian architect Oscar Niemeyer, is located here, as is a station of the Paris Métro. Nearby is the former location of the medieval Gibbet of Montfaucon, a multi-tiered gibbet that was for most of its history outside the city walls of Paris.
