The Triton Museum of Art is an art and local history museum located in Santa Clara, California.

For 50 years, the Triton Museum of Art has been a destination for the community, providing a venue where local artists exhibit their work alongside regional and national artists, and where students of all ages learn about art and the creative process. Located across the street from the Santa Clara Civic Center, the Triton Museum of Art collects and exhibits contemporary and historical works with an emphasis on artists of the Greater Bay Area.

The Museum was founded in 1965 by W. Robert Morgan and is the oldest non-university Museum in Santa Clara, California. The Museum is a nonprofit organization that is primarily supported by contributions from its members and the wider community at large.
