A reflecting pool is a structure often used in memorials. It generally consists of a shallow pool of water, usually quite calm. It is designed to cause solemnity and, as its name implies, reflection. Notable reflecting pools include one at The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia, commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, site of the Oklahoma City bombing.

At the University of Notre Dame, there is a reflecting pool below the Hesburgh Library mosaic of Christ the Teacher, (the mosaic is better known as Touchdown Jesus).
