The Križanke Outdoor Theatre (Poletno gledališče Križanke) is a theatre in Ljubljana, Slovenia, used for summer festivals set up inside the courtyard of the former Monastery of the Holy Cross. It is located at French Revolution Square (Trg francoske revolucije) no. 1.
It was created by Jože Plečnik in the 1950s within the confiscated former monastery especially for the Ljubljana Festival. Major events are held on the open-air stage, while other venues include the Baroque-style Križanke Church, the Knight's Hall (Viteška dvorana) and the Courtyard of Hell (Peklensko dvorišče). The amphitheatre-like southern courtyard with its large retractable canopy has since proved to be a superb venue for classical, jazz, and rock concerts. The venue is managed by the Festival Ljubljana Public Institute and is available for hire.
Part of the former monastery premises is occupied by the Secondary School for Design and Photography.
