The John Young Museum of Art is a teaching museum on the campus of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The museum consists of two exhibition galleries (the Beverly Willis gallery and the Michael J. Marks gallery) and a state-of-the-art object study center housing works of Asian art, Native Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli) art, and Pacific art. Most of the works in its permanent collection were donated by the American-Hawaiian artist John Chin Young (1909–1997). The museum is housed near the Dole Street entrance to the campus in Krauss Hall, a historic former pineapple research building. It has a large courtyard where public events are held.
From 2019 to 2023, the museum was directed by Maika Pollack.
