The Old Joint Stock Theatre is a pub theatre located at 4 Temple Row West in the centre of Birmingham, England.

The theatre seats 80 in a flexible arrangement and is located on the first floor of the Old Joint Stock pub - a grade II listed building built as the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank by architect J. A. Chatwin in 1864 and converted into a pub in 1997.[1] The theatre opened in 2006 with the £350,000 cost being provided by the owners Fuller, Smith and Turner.[2]

The venue hosts music and comedy as well as visiting theatre companies and plans to start mounting its own productions in December 2007.[3]
