The Brooks Atkinson Theatre, originally the Mansfield Theatre, is a Broadway theater at 256 West 47th Street in Manhattan, New York City. Designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, it was constructed by the Chanin brothers in 1926. It has 1,069 seats and is one of the Nederlander Organization's nine Broadway houses.

After 1933, the theatre fell into relative disuse until 1945, when Michael Myerberg bought and leased it to CBS for television productions. Known as CBS Studio 59, the theater played host to the long-running panel shows What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret. In 1960, it was renamed after the former New York Times theater critic Brooks Atkinson, and returned to legitimate use.
