Galleri Kontrast is an independent gallery in Sweden devoted to photography. It was founded in 1996 and is situated at Hornsgatan 8 in Stockholm. The building was built for a bank in the beginning of the last century and is now a wonderful exhibition hall. The old bank vault downstairs is housing a smaller exhibition hall and the bookstore is in the room facing the street.

Galleri Kontrast has developed a reputation as this country's primary venue for documentary photography. The gallery annually shows about 20 exhibitions and always The Swedish picture of the year, World Press Photo and work from Nordens Fotoskola. The Gallery receives funding from the daily papers Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Svenska Dagbladet, the agency Scanpix, from Canon, and from Lennart Nilsson Photography, Sven Hagströmer and Diabolaget. The Press Photographers Club in Sweden (PFK) runs the gallery independently and the curator is Mia Klintewall.
