Emily Tsingou Gallery was a contemporary fine arts gallery that presented an ongoing series of exhibitions of contemporary art between 1998 and 2007, in London, England.

The gallery was described by Jonathan Jones, the chief art critic of The Guardian as "a posh West End gallery."[1] The art gallery programme, which was selected by the Greek proprietor Emily Tsingou, introduced the work of certain internationally recognized contemporary artists to London — including the photographers Collier Schorr (USA) and Justine Kurland (USA)[2] as well as the installation and performance artist Elke Krystufek (Austria)[3] — hence it contributed to the increased internationalization of the British fine art scene in the late-1990s and early-2000s, together with the opening of Tate Modern in 2000, and the introduction of the annual Frieze Art Fair in 2003.

During the period of its existence, the gallery also presented several exhibitions of work by certain British artists including Keith Coventry[4] and YBA artists Henry Bond[5] and Georgina Starr.[6] The gallery also published several artists' monographs, including Bond's The Cult of the Street.
