The Dixon Gallery and Gardens (17 acres) is an art museum with gardens located at 4339 Park Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. It is open daily except Monday; an admission fee is charged.

The museum focuses on French and American impressionism and features works by Monet, Degas, and Renoir, as well as pieces by Pierre Bonnard, Mary Cassatt, Marc Chagall, Honoré Daumier, Henri Fantin-Latour, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Berthe Morisot, Edvard Munch, Auguste Rodin, and Alfred Sisley. The museum also houses the Stout Collection of 18th century German porcelain. With nearly 600 pieces of tableware and figures, it is one of the finest such collections in the United States.

The museum sits within four outdoor gardens with Greco-Roman sculpture. Its site was acquired by the Dixons in 1939, and landscaped in the English style with open vistas adjacent to smaller, intimate formal spaces. The major areas within the gardens are the Cutting Garden, Formal Garden, South Lawn, and Woodland Gardens.
