Øregård Museum is an art museum located in Hellerup in the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is owned by Gentofte Municipality and holds a topographic collection of pictures from Copenhagen and the area north of the city. It also hosts special exhibitions. The building is a former country house built by merchant and planter Johannes Søbøtker, who was active in the triangular trade and the Atlantic slave trade in the Danish West Indies.
