Yaumati Theatre is a performance venue in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, featuring a main auditorium with 300 seats, a stage with an orchestra pit, and professional lighting equipment. The building is equipped with modern facilities, wheelchair accessibility, and bilingual subtitles for all performances.

Built in 1930, this venue became a major entertainment center in Kowloon during Hong Kong's rapid urban expansion. Its founding coincided with a period when the district was transforming into a thriving cultural hub.

The venue programs Cantonese opera performances and offers a platform for emerging artists and traditional theater companies to showcase their work. This focus reflects the local theatrical heritage and draws audiences who appreciate this classical art form.

The entrance is located near MTR Station exit B2, making it easy to reach by public transport. The building has wheelchair access, and performances feature bilingual subtitles for audience comfort.

The building features a red brick structure that serves as an activity room and rehearsal space for additional cultural events beyond main stage performances. This separate area extends the venue's capabilities for artists and organizations.
