Victoria Theatre was a historic theatre located in the main commercial district of Independence Street at Shamokin, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. It was designed by noted theater architect William Harold Lee (1884-1971), and built in 1917–1918. It was located on a trapezoidal lot at 46 West Independence Street, four stories in front and in the Beaux-Arts style of architecture. The interior featured elaborately ornamented plaster ceilings and a central dome with a suspended chandelier.[2] It was demolished after the Rite Aid drug store chain acquired the lot in 1998.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and unfortunately was delisted in 2004.[1]
