The Ayacucho Theatre or Teatro Ayacucho[1] is a cinema located in central Caracas, specifically in the Libertador Municipality parish in the west of the Caracas metropolitan district.

Established on 19 December 1925,[2] it is the second oldest cinema in Caracas and Venezuela after the Teatro Rialto (inaugurated in 1917).

Its design is the work of Venezuelan architect Alejandro Chataing. The space also currently houses a small commercial center, but its main function is still to show films. It was declared a national historical monument in 1994.[3]
