Jefferson Theatre, Movie theater and performance venue in Beaumont, United States.

The Jefferson Theatre is a historic movie house and performance venue in downtown Beaumont, Texas, featuring an ornate interior in the late 1920s style. The main hall has both a stage and a screen, making it usable for film screenings and live performances.

The building was designed by architect Emile Weil and opened in 1927, at a time when movie palaces were at their peak across American downtowns. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.

The theatre's name comes from the Jefferson Amusement Company, which built it, not from Thomas Jefferson. Since the 2003 renovation it has hosted touring acts such as Joan Rivers, The Temptations, George Carlin and Lyle Lovett, alongside local performances, and it is home to an annual film festival.

The theater sits in the heart of downtown Beaumont and is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. Coming a little early gives visitors time to look around the interior before a show begins.

The theatre retains its original 3-manual, 8-rank Robert Morton organ, made by the Robert Morton Organ Company, one of the few theatres in the country still holding its own instrument. A five-day premiere of "It's a Wonderful Life" ran here from March 4 to 8, 1947, with James Stewart and director Frank Capra attending on the opening day.
