A market cross, or in Scots, a mercat cross, is a structure used to mark a market square in market towns, where historically the right to hold a regular market or fair was granted by the monarch, a bishop or a baron.

 Market crosses can be found in most market towns in Britain.
 British emigrants often installed such crosses in their new cities, and several can be found in Canada and Australia.
