Agnes was an art gallery specializing in photography and book arts that was open in Birmingham from 1992 to 2000. The gallery promoted social causes as well as artistic talent, often mounting controversial exhibitions dealing with AIDS, racism, imprisonment, and other social justice issues.

The gallery was opened in 1992 by artist Jon Coffelt, along with partners Shawn Boley and Jan Hughes. The first location was at 2030-A 11th Avenue South near Five Points South, but the gallery later moved to 2829 2nd Avenue South, at Dr Pepper Place in Lakeview. Coffelt closed the gallery in 2002 to focus on his artwork.
