The Fremantle Arts Centre is a historic building complex on Ord Street, Fremantle, Western Australia. The heritage-listed building complex was built using convict labour between 1861 and 1868 and was used as a psychiatric hospital, initially called the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, and often as Fremantle Asylum. It was later renamed the Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and also known as the Lunatic Asylum & Old Women's Home.
