The '''Ikon Gallery''' ({{gbmapping|SP060866}}) is an [[England|English]] [[art gallery|gallery]] of [[contemporary art]], located in [[Brindleyplace]], [[Birmingham]]. It is housed in the [[Listed building|Grade II listed]], [[neo-gothic]] former [[Oozells Street Board School]], designed by [[John Henry Chamberlain]] in 1877.
Ikon was set up to encourage the public to engage in contemporary art. As a result, the gallery delivers an off-site Education and Interpretation scheme to educate audiences, and to promote artists and their work. The gallery is open every day of the week except Mondays, though it opens on [[bank holiday]] Mondays.
