The Texas Theatre is a performing arts theatre, formerly a movie theatre, in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas, (U.S.A.).

It was here that Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested on 22 November 1963, for his alleged assassination of President John F. Kennedy and alleged murder of Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit. The movies showing at the Texas Theatre on that fateful day were "Cry of Battle" and "War is Hell".

When first opened in 1931, the Texas Theatre was the largest suburban movie theatre in Dallas and was part of a chain of theatres once owned by Howard Hughes.

Following closure in 1989, the theatre was restored in 2003 as part of a larger urban renewal plan instigated by the Dallas city authorities. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in the same year. The theatre now plays host to a variety of community events and performing arts shows, in addition to the screening of movies.
