The Royal Theatre of Rabat stands on the Bou Regreg river in Rabat, Morocco, and was designed by Zaha Hadid and Zaha Hadid Architects. The article links it to a national arts initiative led by King Mohammed VI but names no client or owner. Planning began in 2010, and construction started on October 7, 2014. It was completed in 2021, after an earlier target of late 2019. It was officially inaugurated on October 29, 2024 and opened to the public on April 22, 2026.

The curving design draws on the river's winding course and Arabic calligraphy, with elements from Islamic architecture. No named style is given.

The complex has an 1,800-seat interior theatre and a 7,000-seat open-air amphitheatre. The article gives no materials, cost or hours.
