Orillia Opera House is an historic building home to a local opera company in the city of Orillia, Ontario. The Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in 1895, replacing the first permanent town hall built in 1874, to house Orillia City Council and the local jail. A fire in 1915 destroyed much of the building. It was rebuilt less the south tower and re-opened in 1917.

The Haunted Places website alleges that the opera house is haunted.
