Sobinov Theatre Institute of the Saratov State Conservatory (Russian: Саратовская государственная консерватория имени Л.В. Собинова is a music conservatory in Russia.

The conservatory in Saratov, was founded in 1912, and was the first provincial conservatory to be founded in Russia, after St Petersburg Conservatory and Moscow Conservatory. Saratov was, at the time, Russia's third city. The main building of the conservatory had been built in 1902 by architect Alexander Yulyevich Yagn, and originally it housed a music school. Before the opening of the conservatory in 1912, the building was reconstructed by the architect Semyon Akimovich Kallistratov. When Saratov Conservatory opened in September 1912, it immediately had 1,000 students ready to begin their studies.[1] In 1935 the Conservatory was named after the tenor Leonid Sobinov.
