Benalla Art Gallery
Benalla Art Gallery is a public art gallery in the regional town of Benalla, Victoria, Australia.

The Benalla Art Gallery is a free, public gallery in Benalla, which opened in 1975. Victoria's Herald Sun newspaper described it in 2013 as one of Victoria's top ten regional galleries, with a "striking modernist building". The gallery complex was designed by Colin Munro and Philip Sargeant. The gallery's original design was reduced in size, culminating in an expansion proposal being canvassed in 2013.

The gallery is a member of the Public Galleries Association of Victoria.
