Konstakuten is an artist-run organisation in Södermalm district in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in 1996 by four contemporary artists.

Its name meaning "The Art Emergency Room," Konstakuten is a melting pot for young cultural projects and exhibitions of contemporary art and created a platform for art alongside the established commercial galleries in Stockholm. Per Hüttner and Arni Gudmundsson, two of its founders, remained its artistic directors from the inauguration in 1996 to 2001.

The gallery was an important influence for creating a scene for artist-run spaces in Sweden in the late 1990's and early years of the 3rd millennium. The gallery gained international recognition in 1999 when it launched The First European Seminar for Artist Run Spaces (FESARS), which brought together over 70 representatives from 36 organisations from 18 countries. The speakers included David Wilson of The Museum of Jurassic Technology and Phil Collins of The Catalyst Gallery in Belfast. The gallery was also invited to participate in the 48 Venice Biennale and has shown a great deal of important contemporary artists early in their career, such as Brian Jungen, Annika von Hausswolff, Brian Griffiths and Fred Tomaselli.
