The Victoria Theatre, Salford, is a theatre in the Lower Broughton area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. It is situated on Great Clowes Street, on the corner of the Elton Street. The theatre officially opened 10 December 1900 and was last in use as a bingo hall in 2008. The original capacity was 2,000 seated, this was increased to 3,000 in 1910. Palatial Leisure Limited sold the building in September 2018.

The Victoria Theatre, designed by Bertie Crewe, was built by The Broughton Theatres Syndicate Ltd. the same syndicate which controlled the Regent Theatre, Cross Lane, Salford (destroyed by fire in 1952).
