The Smith Alumnae Gymnasium is a historic gym building on the Smith College campus in Northampton, Massachusetts. It faces the college's Burton Lawn, along with other buildings of the campus that were also designed by Peabody & Stearns. It replaced an earlier wooden structure, also designed by Peabody & Sterns, that was built in 1879 during the college's initial construction efforts. The building now houses the college's archives, and was connected by the adjacent Neilson Library by a bridge in 1982.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
