The Lynn Theatre is a historic former movie theater on Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, California, United States. Walter J. Saunders of W. J. Saunders & Son designed the original structure. The Lynn opened in 1922 as a replacement for a former venue of the same name. An extensive renovation in 1935 introduced a new Mediterranean Revival style facade designed by James Neil Conway. The Lynn remained in operation under the founding family until the 1970s when Pacific Theatres acquired it. In 1976, the venue's single auditorium was split into two. Edwards Theatres and Regency Theatres later operated the Lynn until its closure in 2015. At the time, it was the only remaining movie theater in Laguna Beach. In 2023, the Lynn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and acquired by car manufacturer Rivian to be converted into a showroom.
