The Princeton Garden Theatre is a movie theater on Nassau Street in Princeton, New Jersey, at the corner of Vandeventer Avenue next to Bainbridge House. It opened in 1920 with 1,000 seats, 780 in the orchestra and 220 in the gallery, which also had boxes. It is owned by Princeton University and operated by the nonprofit Renew Theaters.

The Princeton Theater Company formed in 1919 and built the Garden on Nassau Street beside Bainbridge House, naming it after a rose garden that once stood there. It opened on September 20, 1920, with the silent comedy Civilian Clothes, accompanied by a live orchestra. The completed cinema cost $60,000 including its organ and seated 1,000 people. It is now owned by Princeton University and run by the nonprofit Renew Theaters.

The theater works closely with Princeton University to organize conversations with filmmakers after screenings. These events give visitors a chance to engage directly with the people behind the films being shown.

An annual membership gives access to discounted tickets and reserved seating for special screenings throughout the year. Members also get early access to festival programming, which is worth considering for regular visitors.

The Garden's name comes from the rose garden that once stood beside Bainbridge House, the adjacent building that served as British headquarters during the Battle of Princeton. The theater opened on September 20, 1920, with the silent comedy Civilian Clothes, accompanied by a live orchestra, and palms and ferns arranged on the stage.
