Das Rourke Art Museum in Moorhead, Minnesota ist ein 1965 von James T. O’Rourke gegründetes Museum für bildende Kunst. Es befindet sich im 1915 an der 521 Main Avenue erbauten ehemaligen Postamt. Das Museum entstand als Red River Art Center und erhielt zehn Jahre später den Namen Plains Art Museum. Nachdem der Gründungsdirektor O’Rourke 1987 das Museum verlassen hatte, trennten sich Plains Art Museum und Rourke Museum; beide Institutionen wurden erneut unabhängig.
