State Theater was a historic theater located at Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1929 and was a Neoclassical style, rectangular brick structure with one of the narrow ends oriented toward the street. The theater occupied most of the building, with two small store spaces located at either end of the facade.[2] It was closed near the end of the 1980s,[3] and it was demolished in 1989.[4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
