Robert McDougall Art Gallery, Art museum in Botanic Gardens, Christchurch, New Zealand.

The Robert McDougall Art Gallery is a single-storey brick building faced with Oamaru stone, with a gabled pediment on the left and a flat-roofed wing to the right. A tall round-headed arch on pale pilasters, flanked by two round windows, frames the recessed entrance. Inside, a large central hall has scagliola columns and marble floors, lit by skylights.

James Jamieson offered his art collection to Christchurch in 1925 on condition that a gallery be built; a loan referendum failed, and Robert McDougall's £25,000 gift in 1928 made the project possible. Edward Armstrong's design was chosen and building began in November 1930. McDougall added funds to complete it in 1932 at a total cost of £31,000.

For many decades, the gallery served as the main place where people in the city encountered contemporary and classical art. It hosted exhibitions that shaped how locals and visitors understood New Zealand's artistic traditions alongside international works.

The location sits within the Botanic Gardens and is easy to find by following the main garden paths through the grounds. The building remains visible from outside, though access inside has been restricted for several years now.

In 1942 the painting Psyche by Solomon Joseph Solomon was stolen from the gallery. The building survived the Christchurch earthquakes and had repairs in 2016, but it was rated earthquake prone and has stayed empty since 2011. As part of the Canterbury Museum's Rolleston Ave redevelopment it is being brought up to code, with reopening slated for 2029.
