Moscow Art Theatre (Russian: Московский Художественный Академический Театр) (MAT) is a theatre company in Moscow, Russia, founded in 1897 by Constantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. It was conceived as a venue for naturalistic theatre, in contrast to the melodramas that were Russia's dominant form of theatre at the time.

The theatre quickly became famous when it staged productions of Anton Chekhov's four major works, beginning with The Seagull. During the Soviet era, the Moscow Art Theatre received much state support, in exchange for producing socialist drama.

The Moscow Art Theatre is still in existence today, with a seagull as its mascot. It has been run by Oleg Tabakov since 2000. The theatre is located just off Tverskaya Street, only a few blocks northwest of Red Square.
