Omniplex Cinemas is a cinema chain which started in the Republic of Ireland in 1991. Following this they expanded to Derry in Northern Ireland in 1993. In late 2023, it entered the markets in England and Scotland by acquiring the former Empire Cinemas after their bankruptcy.

It is operated by Paul Anderson. It operates cinemas throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom. In 2013, Omniplex began a €14.5m investment and renovation in a number of its cinemas including the rolling out across Ireland of its large screen format OmniplexMAXX.[1]

Omniplex owns 42 cinemas, with 20 cinemas in the Republic of Ireland and 22 cinemas in the United Kingdom.[2]
