Thornton Stadium is a greyhound racing track in Thornton, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland.
Between Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes is the village of Thornton and Thornton Stadium is located on a road known as Ore Mill off Main Street and is situated near the A92. The first race was held on 29 May 1936 and the circuit is described as a good galloping track. Races are held over 100, 300, 500 and 680 metres (mainly handicaps). The track is independent and is therefore not regulated by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain.
It is one of only seven independent (unaffiliated to a governing body) tracks remaining today.
