Oulu City Theatre (Finnish: Oulun kaupunginteatteri) is a municipal theatre in Oulu, Finland. The current theatre building is located in the Vänmanninsaari island close to the market square in the city centre.

The theatre was established in 1931 as Oulun Näyttämö (literally Oulu Stage), name was changed to Oulun teatteri (Oulu Theatre) in 1951. The theatre became municipally owned in 1965 and its name was changed to Oulu City Theatre. At the time the theatre performed in the Oulu City Hall. The first specifically designed theatre hall, the current theatre, was opened in 1972. The building was designed by architects Marjatta Jaatinen and Matti Jaatinen.^[2]
