The Paramount Theatre is a historic theater located at 17 South Street in Middletown, New York, United States.

It was built in 1930 in an Art Deco style, a twin to the Paramount Theater in Peekskill, across the Hudson River.

Paramount-Publix Corporation (now Paramount Pictures) built and opened the building on June 12, 1930, with a celebration that included a parade at noon, a musical performance by the Paramount Symphony Orchestra, and the first movie, The Big Pond, starring Maurice Chevalier and Claudette Colbert at 6 p.m.

An apron was added to the stage, and a pavilion on the back of the building provided dressing room space.
