Theodore is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Banana, Queensland, Australia.[3][4] It was established in the 1920s as part of Queensland Premier Ted Theodore's ambitious Dawson River Irrigation Scheme which failed to eventuate. It was originally known as Castle Creek, but that name is now used by another locality in the area.

In the 2021 census, the locality of Theodore had a population of 451 people.[1]
