The House of Electronic Arts (HEK), or Haus der Elektronischen Künste, is a contemporary art museum in Münchenstein, Switzerland. Directed by Sabine Himmelsbach, HEK's exhibitions concentrate on digital, media forms and topics pertinent to the modern age of information.

Since 2018, HEK has collaborated with the Art Foundation Pax to present the Pax Art Awards each year to media artists in Switzerland. It also serves as the venue and exhibition space for works awarded the VH Award hosted by Hyundai Motor Company.

In 2016, HEK was included in the Swiss Heritage Society's second volume of Most Beautiful Museums in Switzerland.
