Marlowe Theatre is a 1000-seat theatre in Canterbury, England. It is one of the largest theatres in Kent ^{[citation needed]}, and is named after the playwright Christopher Marlowe, born in the town.

The present building was previously the Friars Cinema, where on 11th May 1944 the film A Canterbury Tale received its world premiere. It re-opened as a theatre in September 1984.

The theatre previously occupied another site on St Margaret's Street.
