Woman Unmasked (81) is a limestone gargoyle located on the southwest tower of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Positioned on the south face at the second floor level, this grotesque figure contributes to the cathedral's rich sculptural tradition. The cathedral itself is a prominent landmark at Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues NW, near the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station.
