The Carnegie Hero Fund Bronze Medal (large model) is a civilian award presented to individuals who have shown courage and self-sacrifice in saving human lives. It is part of the Carnegie Hero Fund, founded by Andrew Carnegie, and has been awarded in Belgium since 1911.

The medal is struck in bronze and features, on the obverse, the profile portrait of Andrew Carnegie, with his name inscribed in a circular legend.
