The Electric Cinema is a cinema in Notting Hill, London.
One of the oldest working film theatres in Britain, it became Britain's first black-owned cinema in 1993, and remained so until it was sold in 2000.
As of 2022, after several changes in ownership, the cinema is also known as the Electric Portobello, with a second screen at the old Television Centre at White City called the Electric White City.
