Bežigrad Stadium (Slovene: bežigrajski stadion, stadion Bežigrad, stadion za Bežigradom), also known as Bežigrad Central Stadium (Slovene: Centralni stadion Bežigrad), is a multi-purpose stadium in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is the oldest stadium in Ljubljana. The stadium has been closed since 2008. Joc Pečečnik, a Slovenian multimillionaire, plans to renovate it.
Construction of Bežigrad Stadium for the Roman Catholic youth sport association Orel began in 1925. It was designed by the architect Jože Plečnik. It takes its name from the Bežigrad district in Ljubljana, where it is located. It stands west of Vienna Street (Dunajska cesta) and north of Samo Street (Samova ulica).
Bežigrad Stadium was predominantly used for football matches, and it was the home of the football club NK Olimpija Ljubljana (established in 1945), until the club's dissolution in 2004. The newly established club, NK Bežigrad, played at the stadium between 2005 and 2007.
