The Savoy Theatre is a historic Victorian-Style theatre, first established in 1901, with the present theatre building dating from 1927. The Savoy is located in Glace Bay, Cape Breton Regional Municipality, on Cape Breton Island, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, and operates as a performing arts venue, presenting a wide variety of local, national and international entertainment.

The Savoy is the largest soft-seat theatre in Nova Scotia. Its main auditorium has a capacity of 761 including the balcony. The Savoy's foyer also hosts events (dinner theatres, weddings, reunions) for up to 100 people. The Savoy is managed by The Savoy Theatre Society, an arms-length agency and registered charity created by the former Town of Glace Bay.
