The Benson Theatre is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Omaha, Nebraska, dedicated to restoring the historic Benson Theatre at 6054 Maple Street as a shared space for business education and artistic performance. Built in 1923 as a vaudeville venue, the building is currently closed to public assembly and in need of a full renovation, a project the organization began after purchasing the property in September 2014. Its programming aims to provide performance space and business education resources not readily accessible in the surrounding urban area, with daytime educational activities and evening entertainment.

Situated in the Benson arts district of north Omaha, the theatre plans to offer independent programming and serve as an alternative venue for nonprofits, schools, and performing arts groups, while supporting collaboration among Omaha's cultural organizations and potentially improving residents' quality of life. In 2023, the organization partnered with Anastasis Theatre Co. to premiere a work at Benson, illustrating ongoing activity as a venue for new programming.
