Theatre of Sheep was a 1980s American New Wave band from Portland, Oregon that was very popular locally.^{[citation needed]} Musically, the band had much in common with stylish New Wave and New Romantic bands of the day such as Echo & the Bunnymen and those featured on MTV. Notably, their 1983 release, "A Cathartic Aquacade," was produced and engineered by Greg Sage, leader of the Portland punk band the Wipers.

Formed in 1980, they split in 1984 but played several one-off reunion shows throughout the 1990s. They were fronted by Rozz Rezabek.

Theatre of Sheep vocalist Rozz Rezabek is featured in the documentary film Kurt & Courtney.
