"Trapezium Altar" is a steel sculpture, constructed by Beverly Pepper in 1986 which is displayed on the upper plaza of the Charles W. Ireland Sculpture Garden at the Birmingham Museum of Art.

The sculpture is fabricated from Cor Ten (weathering) steel, an alloy which develops a protective coating of deep purplish-brown oxidation. It was donated to the museum by the Los Angeles, California-based Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in 1991.
