The Cinema Marraccini is a former movie theater located in the historic center of Grosseto, in Tuscany.

The building is located along the southwestern side of Via Mazzini, leaning against the walkway of the Medici walls in front of the arch that connects to Piazza Dante. It was built in 1926 on the site of Grosseto's first cinema, the "Splendor" owned by Guido Lumachi, with a design by Renato Della Rocca. Initially named "Cinema Savoia", it was later named after his owner Giovanni Marraccini at the end of World War II.

The cinema remained active until its last screening in October 2003. Since then, the structure has remained abandoned for twenty years. In 2022, it was purchased by the Municipality of Grosseto.
