Brompton Barracks Gymnasium is a historic military gymnasium at Brompton Barracks in Gillingham, Kent, England. The building was completed in 1863 for the Corps of Royal Engineers and is one of the earliest surviving British Army gymnasia. It is built in the Italianate style and was designated a Grade II* listed building on 8 July 1998. The Brompton Barracks complex has housed the Royal Engineers (and today the Royal School of Military Engineering) since 1812, giving the gymnasium a long association with military training. In heritage terms Brompton’s gymnasium is noted as the second-oldest extant Army gymnasium (after the 1862 gym at Sandhurst).
