The Rourke Art Museum is a fine arts museum in Moorhead, Minnesota, United States, founded by James O'Rourke.

The art museum can be found at 521 Main Avenue in a historic Federal Courthouse and Post Office, built in 1915. The building was included in a study of historic properties in Clay County, which said the building "shows the influence of Federal government function in most towns."[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
