The Rucker Agee Collection of Maps of the Southeast is collection of 3,675 maps, 700 atlases and 2,533 related volumes held at the Linn-Henley Research Library of the Birmingham Public Library. The collection was initiated with a donation of over 600 maps and atlases and an endowment for acquisitions by Birmingham investment banker and collector Rucker Agee in 1965.

The collection has been exhibited many times since its first public exhibition in 1955, curated by Agee. The maps date from 1540 to the present.
