The Ely State Theater is a historic movie theater in Ely, Minnesota, United States. It was designed by Liebenberg and Kaplan in Streamline Moderne style and built in 1936. The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. It was nominated for epitomizing the small-town commissions of Liebenberg and Kaplan, the leading movie theater designers in the Upper Midwest during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The Ely State Theater closed in 2008 due to the Great Recession. The building quickly fell into disrepair. Restoration efforts began in 2014 and reopened December 2019 as a cinema and live event venue with an attached café in the adjacent Salerno Building
