The St James Theatre is a historic stage theatre and cinema located on Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand. Built in 1928 to a design by Henry Eli White, it replaced the older Fuller's Opera House and was originally designed for vaudeville acts. It shortly started showing films and up until the early 2000s was used for both live performances and film. St James Theatre was damaged following a blaze at the building in 2007. Since 2017 it has been closed. Restoration work was scheduled to begin in 2024.
St James Theatre is registered as a category 1 building with Heritage New Zealand.
