Sheikh Kamal International Stadium (Bengali: শেখ কামাল আন্তর্জাতিক স্টেডিয়াম), also known as Cox's Bazar Cricket Stadium (Bengali: কক্সবাজার ক্রিকেট স্টেডিয়াম), is a newly developed cricket stadium in the tourist town of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
It was built on leased land from Cox's Bazar Golf Course. The stadium was a shortlisted venue for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, however it did not host any matches due the construction of the ground not finishing in time for the tournament.
The first match played at the stadium was a Women's One Day International match between Bangladesh and Pakistan on 5 March 2014. It also hosted 2 matches of Youth's One Day International between Bangladesh and South Africa. Those 2 matches won by one each.
