Teaterladan (The barn theatre), officially Hedemora Gamla Theater (old Swedish spelling of Old Theatre of Hedemora), is a theatre and a listed building in Hedemora, Dalarna County, Sweden. It was built somewhere between 1826[1] and 1829[2] as a combined barn and theatre in three floors, with the stage and dressing rooms at the top and the storage area at the two lower floors.[2] The first performance at the stage was a play performed by A. P. Bergmans Sällskap on February 1, 1829.[3]

From 1888 to 1910 the building was rented by the Salvation Army. When they moved, the building was left unused until 1946, when Hedemora celebrated 500 years as a stad. It was restored, and dedicated by the Crown Prince Couple Gustaf Adolf and Louise on June 20, 1946.[2] The building is a listed building since 1964.
