Brighton Hippodrome is an entertainment venue in Brighton, England. It was built in 1897 and closed in 2007.

The Hippodrome has hosted an ice rink, circus acts, variety theatre, vaudeville shows and bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The flamboyantly decorated interior, with a large auditorium and Rococo embellishments, has survived.

In July 2010, the owner announced that it would cost £9 million to restore the building and convert it into a live music venue, and a charitable trust expressed concern over its future. Since 2011, several plans have been submitted to convert the building for alternative uses. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance.
