El Estanque grande del parque de El Retiro fue construido en 1634 por el arquitecto Cristóbal de Aguilera, por orden de Felipe IV. 
Mide 280x140m y su profundidad máxima es de 1,80m.
El estanque fue hecho en el lugar de otro estanque anterior, más pequeño, de la época de Felipe II.
Su finalidad principal era la de servir de recreo y esparcimiento al rey Felipe IV, a su familia y a la corte. Y para recrear batallas navales en las que el rey participaba.
Tenía en sus orillas seis norias que lo alimentaban de agua. Del mismo modo, en su centro existía una isleta de forma ovalada que se utilizaba tanto para pescar, como para desarrollar representaciones teatrales.
En 1867 se permitió la entrada al público.
En 1922 se inauguró el monumento al rey Alfonso XII que preside el Estanque.
En sus aguas nadan alrededor de 8.000 peces. La mayoría son carpas, aunque también hay peces gato o percasoles. Además, cuenta con galápagos, cangrejos, patos y cisnes.
Maravilloso lugar de encuentro y ocio de madrileños y visitantes, especialmente los fines de semana.
