Coninx-Museum, Art museum in District 7, Zürich, Switzerland.

The Coninx-Museum was an art museum at Heuelstrasse 32 on the Zürichberg in Zürich-Hottingen, housed in Werner Coninx's former villa. The listed building was erected in 1912 by Otto Coninx-Girardet to plans by Pfleghard and Haefeli and held around 14,000 works of the Coninx Foundation. It closed in 2012.

Werner Coninx assembled the collection between 1945 and 1980 and transferred it to the Coninx-Stiftung in 1973. From 1986 the museum occupied his former home on Heuelstrasse, built in 1912 by Pfleghard and Haefeli for his father Otto Coninx-Girardet and handed to the foundation in 1983. It showed 14 exhibitions until 2011, when financial reasons ended operations; it closed in 2012 and the core holdings went as permanent loans to Swiss museums.

The museum's name comes from painter and collector Werner Coninx, who built the collection between 1945 and 1980; it was transferred to the Coninx-Stiftung in 1973, renamed the Werner Coninx Stiftung in 2016. The holdings span figurative Swiss art of the 19th and 20th centuries, international prints, Old Masters, African tribal art and Far Eastern art. Since the 2012 closure, core works have been lent long-term to various Swiss museums.

The museum closed in 2012, so there are no exhibitions or visiting hours; the villa at Heuelstrasse 32 on the Zürichberg is a listed building, and the core works of the collection are on permanent loan to various Swiss museums. The former museum rooms are not open to the public.

The museum closed in 2012, but its roughly 14,000 works are not gone: core holdings are lent long-term to various Swiss museums. The building itself, a listed villa on the Zürichberg built in 1912 by Pfleghard and Haefeli for Otto Coninx-Girardet, was sold after the foundation's 2014 board resignation.
