Montreal Academy of Music was a theatre/concert hall in Montreal, Quebec, Canada that dated from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The hall had 2100 seats and was situated on the east side of Victoria Street just north of Saint Catherine Street. It was inaugurated in 1875 and demolished by 1910 so that the Goodwin store could be enlarged. The Goodwin store later became Eaton's, which later went bankrupt and was converted into a mall called Complexe Les Ailes.

This building was known for its theatrical presentation. In 1877, Calixa Lavallée directed Jeanne d'Arc by Gounod. La Traviata and Lucia di Lammemoor were presented in 1890, and Lohengrin and Les Huguenots in 1892 by Emma Albani. Also, Victor Herbert's Cyrano de Bergerac was presented for the first time on September 11, 1899.

Starting April 1903, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra began playing concerts in this theater.
