Sadler's Wells Theatre is a performing arts venue in Clerkenwell (London, England). There has been a theatre on the site since 1683 and the current building is the sixth.

After a decline in the first half of the 19th century, the theatre gained popularity under the leadership of the manager Samuel Phelps and performances of Shakespeare at the theatre.
