John M. Belk Arena is a 5,295-seat multi-purpose arena, located on the campus of Davidson College, in Davidson, North Carolina, United States.
It is named for Davidson alumnus and benefactor John M. Belk (1920–2007), class of 1943.
As the centerpiece of the Baker Sports Complex, it is home to the Davidson Wildcats men's and women's basketball teams, the Davidson Wildcats wrestling team, and the women's volleyball team.
The playing surface is named "McKillop Court" in honor of current men's basketball coach Bob McKillop, who has coached the most victories in the school's history.
