Victoria Theatre was a historic theatre located 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, four stories in front and in the Beaux-Arts style. The interior featured elaborately ornamented plaster ceilings and a central dome with a suspended chandelier.[2] It was demolished after Rite Aid acquired the lot in 1998.[3]

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