The Olympic Theatre sometimes known as the Royal Olympic Theatre was a 19th-century London theatre opened in 1806 and located at the junction of Drury Lane Wych Street and Newcastle Street. The theatre specialised in comedies throughout much of its existence. Along with three other Victorian theatres (Opera Comique Globe and Gaiety) the Olympic was eventually demolished in 1904 to make way for the development of the Aldwych. Newcastle and Wych streets also vanished.
