The Teatro Arthur Azevedo is a theatre in São Luís, the capital of Maranhão, Brazil.

The building in neoclassical style is located in the Historic Centre of São Luís.

[1] Two Portuguese merchants, Eleutério Lopes da Silva Varela and Estevão Gonçalves Braga, had the idea of building a theatre of proportions they had seen in Lisbon in 1815, during the Maranhão cotton boom.

[2] It was built after the model of Italian theatres in horseshoe-shape with balconies,[1] in neoclassical style.

[2] In 1852 it was named Teatro São Luiz,[2] and in 1922 renamed again, after the poet and playwright Artur Azevedo in 1922.
