Kinoteatr Spartak, Movie theater and cultural heritage site in central Simferopol, Crimea.

Kinoteatr Spartak is a cinema at 9 Pushkina Street in central Simferopol, with three halls seating 133, 82 and 40. The building has two main halls, Kapitoliy and Forum, plus a VIP hall opened in 2013. It is listed as a cultural heritage site.

The cinema traces its origins to 1908, when Leonid Sukhomlinov sought permission to open the Modern electrotheatre on Pushkinskaya Street; it opened in 1912 and was renamed Lotos by 1914. In 1929 it became Spartak, and during the German occupation of 1941–1944 it was called Tsentralkino. After Simferopol was liberated on 13 April 1944, the name Spartak returned and Soviet newsreels were shown. A reconstruction began in 2006, and the cinema reopened on 29 July 2006.

The cinema's name comes from the 1929 renaming of the former Lotus, and its two main halls carry the names Kapitoliy and Forum. During the German occupation of 1941–1944 it was called Zentralkino, and the collaborationist paper Golos Kryma reported the change on 11 January 1942. Academician Igor Kurchatov worked as a watchman at the Lotus in 1921.

The cinema stands at Pushkina Street 9, in the pedestrian zone of central Simferopol. Its three halls seat 133, 82 and 40 people, the last opened in September 2013 as a VIP hall. Visitors can choose between the larger Kapitoliy and the smaller Forum.

The cinema's three halls are named Kapitoliy, Forum and a VIP hall opened in September 2013. The Forum seats 82, not 42. The building also holds memories of physicist Igor Kurchatov, who worked as a watchman at the Lotus cinema in 1921.
