Donk's Theatre was a historic movie theater located at Hudgins, Mathews County, Virginia.

It reopened in 1975, as a live country music concert hall. On January 22, 2016, the roof of Donk's collapsed due to heavy snowfall from a winter storm, as did several of the outside walls.

Little survived, and what remained required demolition; the owners said that they would save the marquee. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, and was removed from the National Register in 2017.
