The Iron Pencil is a large iron statue that resembles a pencil, appearing primarily in EarthBound and briefly in Mother 3.

In EarthBound, it blocks paths in certain areas, and can only be removed by the Pencil Eraser. This statue is the only other destroyable statue in the game besides the Iron Eraser, which is removed with the Eraser Eraser.

In Mother 3, there are only two Iron Pencils and they both appear in the Hall of Memories level of the Empire Porky Building. The first can only be viewed by Lucas and co. as their boat drifts past its pedestal, whereas the second that appears in the next room is optional to remove. There is a gift box close to it containing the only Pencil Eraser in the game.

In the Japanese version of the games, the Iron Pencils were originally octopus statues. However, this was changed in the localization of EarthBound and subsequently also modified in The Unofficial Mother 3 Fan Translation of Mother 3.
