Perth Theatre is a Victorian playhouse situated at 185 High Street, Perth, Scotland. It was opened in 1901 and extended in 1991.[1]

A memorial foundation stone was laid on 6 October 1889 by George Alexander, actor and manager of the St James's Theatre, London.[2] The building is category B listed by Historic Scotland.[2]

On 4 January 2014 the theatre closed to undergo renovations and expansions. Among the plans for the theatre are new seats, another smaller theatre, and a new entrance. The original auditorium will also be restored to its original condition. The theatre is expected to open again in 2018.
