The Nimrod Theatre Company, commonly known simply as The Nimrod, was an Australian theatre in New South Wales, in Sydney, it was founded by in 1970 by Australian actor John Bell, Richard Wherrett and Ken Horler, and gained a reputation for producing more "good new Australian drama" from 1970 to 1985 than any other Australian theatre company. Located in Nimrod Street, Kings Cross, the building is now home to Griffin Theatre Company.

The company moved in 1974 to Belvoir Street, Surry Hills, Sydney, but retained its original name. From 1981-1988 it also played in the Seymour Centre theatres. It eventually ceased operations in 1988. Subsequently, the Surry Hills venue became known as the Belvoir St Theatre. The history of the company was written up by Julian Meyrick in a book adapted from his PhD thesis.
