The Hanoi Opera House (French: Opéra de Hanoï), or the Grand Opera House (French: Grand Opéra, Vietnamese: Nhà hát lớn Hà Nội) is an opera house in central Hanoi, Vietnam. It is located at August Revolution Square, anchoring the head of Tràng Tiền street.
Originally built by the French colonial administration as the Hanoi Municipal Theater (French: Théâtre municipal de Hanoï, Vietnamese: Nhà hát Thành phố Hà Nội) between 1901 and 1911, it is one of three opera houses built during the colonial period in French Indochina, alongside the Haiphong Opera House and Saigon Opera House.
