Semafor is a theatre in Prague, Czech Republic, established by Jiří Suchý and Ferdinand Havlík in 1959. Suchý has performed there for many decades and is the current owner. The theatre was a starting point for many famous Czech musicians, including Karel Gott and Hana Hegerová.

The name "Semafor" is an acronym for Sedm Malých Forem (Seven Small Forms), referring to genres of the theatre—musical comedy, poetry theatre, song history, jazz, fine arts, film, and free genre.
