The Bouffes du Nord is a theatre at 37 bis, boulevard de la Chapelle, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris located near the Gare du Nord.

The theatre's fortunes were revived briefly in 1885 by the arrival of Abel Ballet as the director.

In 1904, the theatre, under the direction of its directors, was entirely restored, repainted, and equipped with electricity.

The theatre was renamed the Théâtre Molière and authors such as Arthur Bernède and Gaston Leroux were assembled to write plays for the newly named theatre.
