The Galerie Michael Werner is a German art gallery. It was started in Cologne, in Nordrhein-Westfalen in western Germany, in 1969 by Michael Werner, who had taken over the Galerie Hake there.[1]:505 Werner showed work by post-War German artists such as George Baselitz, Jörg Immendorff, A.R. Penck and Sigmar Polke.[2]

A branch was opened in New York City in 1990, in a house on East 77th Street formerly used by Leo Castelli, and re-designed by Annabelle Selldorf.[2] A London branch opened in 2012 in Upper Brook Street, Mayfair; the first show was of work by Peter Doig.[3]:7 A space was opened in Basel, in Switzerland, in 2015.[4]

In 2017 the gallery collaborated with a Brazilian gallery, Mendes Wood DM, to open Hic Svnt Dracones, a project space on East 66th Street in New York.[5]
