The Isar raft is a monument in Munich with a bronze sculpture of the German sculptor Fritz Koelle standing on a stone base.

The monument was erected in Hinterbrühl in the Munich district of Thalkirchen at the point where the raft canal leading to the rafting area branches of the Isar-Werkkanal. The City of Munich had commissioned the monument for this location.

Koelle created the figure between 1938 and 1939 in his characteristic style of monumental worker figures. After the National Socialists seized power, Koelle was accused of having a "Bolshevik view of art". His attempt to adapt to the prevailing taste in art is clearly visible in the Isar raftsman. The sculpture was shown in 1940 at the Haus der Deutschen Kunst as part of the Great German Art Exhibition.
