The Gummeson Gallery, (Galleri Gummeson) on Strandvägen, Stockholm is one of the foremost contemporary art galleries in Scandinavia. It was launched 1912 by Carl Gummeson, a local bookdealer, and quickly forged a reputation for support of Modern Art.

In 1916 it held an exhibition for Wassily Kandinsky, and subsequently Paul Klee, Edvard Munch, Folke Heybroek, and Andy Warhol (1972). It has also promoted Swedish artists including Isaac Grünewald and Gösta Adrian-Nilsson, and expressionists Torsten Renqvist and Staffan Hallström.
