The Fremont Theater is a historic movie theater in San Luis Obispo, California. It opened in 1942 and is among the last Streamline Moderne theaters built by architect S. Charles Lee. Throughout its existence, the venue has screened films as well as hosted live performances. During World War II, it hosted war bond shows; it later hosted such attractions as Adam Ant and Yes.[citation needed]

In the late 20th century, developers wanted to raze the building to install a new multiplex, but public outcry saved the theater. The company built its multiplex next door, capitalizing off the historic structure while also supporting it financially with the additional screens.[1]
The theater is now one of the main locations for the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
