The Guild Theatre (originally the Taylor Street Theatre) is a historic former theater building in downtown Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The theater was completed and opened in 1927. It closed in 2006 and was converted for retail use in 2018–2019. Since 2019, a Kinokuniya bookstore has occupied the space.

The Guild was designed as a 450 seat recital hall for the musicians renting studio space in the neighboring Studio Building. Until the Guild was renovated in 1956 the entrance to the theater was through the Studio Building lobby off Taylor Street. After renovation the entrance was moved to 9th Street making the theater a reverse theater, the area that is now the lobby used to be the stage.
