The Sadler's Wells Ballet, also known as Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet, was a small ballet company hosted by the Sadler's Wells Theatre, a historical theater in London dating back to the 1680s. The Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet began showing at Sadler's Wells in 1946, but it is unclear how long the ballet company was associated with Sadler's Wells Theatre or how long the company was in business. The company appears to have been directly associated with (or perhaps the one and the same as) Ninette de Valois's Sadler's Wells Ballet School.
