We prove a Baire category theorem for continuous lattices and derive category theorems for non-Hausdorff spaces which imply a category theorem of Isbell's and have applications to the spectral theory of C*-algebras. The same lattice theoretical methods yield a proof of de Groot's category theorem for regular subcompact spaces.
