Oldham Coliseum Theatre is a theatre in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. Located on Fairbottom Street in the town centre, it opened in 1887 as the Colosseum, a reconstruction of an 1885 wooden circus building, has since been rebuilt as a masonry building, and in the 20th century was a music hall and briefly a cinema before reverting to being a repertory theatre. It was closed in 2023 and was to be redeveloped, but is to reopen in late 2025 after refurbishment.
