Oldham Coliseum Theatre is a theatre in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England.

The history of the theatre can be traced back to 1885.

Found on Fairbottom Street in the town centre, Oldham's Coliseum is a repertory theatre which celebrated its centenary in 1987. Its interior makes it a great period classic in theatre terms, and has seen the likes of local performers such as Eric Sykes, Charlie Chaplin, Dame Thora Hird and Dora Bryan tread its boards.

The theatre was renovated in 2012.[1]
