Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Art museum and heritage site in Townsville, Australia.

Perc Tucker Regional Gallery is a heritage-listed public art gallery on the corner of Flinders and Denham streets in the Townsville CBD. It opened on 25 September 1981 in a former Union Bank building and holds over 2,000 works, with a collection theme of The Tropics.

The building was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built in 1885 as the Union Bank of Australia, with a second floor added in 1933. It was later converted into an art gallery, officially opened by Townsville mayor Alderman M F Reynolds on 25 September 1981.

The gallery is named after Perc Tucker, pronounced "purse", whose name also titles the Percival Portrait Painting Prize, a biennial portraiture award started in 2007 after negotiations to host the Archibald Prize stalled in 2006. Visitors can join membership and volunteer programs, and attend art classes, exhibition tours, artists' talks, lectures, workshops and performances.

The gallery sits on the corner of Flinders and Denham streets in the Townsville CBD, so it can be reached on foot from the city centre. Rooms can be hired for functions through Townsville City Council. Regular programming includes exhibition tours, artists' talks, lectures, workshops and performances, and supporters can join membership or volunteer programs.

Every two years the gallery organizes Ephemera, an outdoor sculpture exhibition that stretches along The Strand waterfront with artworks displayed against coastal views. This outdoor program brings contemporary sculpture into public spaces where it engages locals and visitors in unexpected ways.
