State Palace Theatre, Performing arts venue in Canal Street, New Orleans, US

The State Palace Theatre is a shuttered theater at the uptown lake corner of Canal Street and Rampart Street in downtown New Orleans, directly across Canal Street from the Saenger Theater. Built in 1926, it held 3,335 seats and a 3/13 Robert Morton organ. Its interior was later divided into three screens, then reopened as a single hall for classic movies and concerts.

Built in 1926 for the Loew's circuit, the State Theatre opened on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1926, with Marcus Loew and stars including Buster Keaton, Lew Cody and Dorothy Mackaill on stage. It seated 3,335 and held a 3/13 Robert Morton organ. Silent films gave way to talkies, and in 1976 the house was split into three screens before closing as a movie house in the late 1980s.

During the 1990s, the theater served as a major hub for the region's electronic music scene, drawing visitors who came to experience electronic dance music and performances by national DJs.

The building sits on Canal Street and has been closed to the public since 2007 due to structural concerns. Visitors can view the exterior facade from the street, though the interior remains inaccessible while restoration discussions continue.

The theater featured a large pipe organ that provided live music during silent film screenings in its early years. This type of organ was common equipment in cinemas during the 1920s before sound entered the movies.
