Tudor Fieldhouse is a multipurpose arena on the campus of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Opened in 1950 as Autry Court, the 5,000-seat facility is the home of the Rice Owls men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams.

On February 7, 2007, a $23 million renovation of Autry Court was announced by Rice University. A $8 million donation by Rice alum Bobby Tudor spearheaded this movement, and renovations began in July 2007. On July 29, 2008 the University announced that the facility would be renamed Tudor Fieldhouse.

Once called "Jungle Gym" by Rice students because of the stifling heat inside, prior to the installation of air conditioning in 1991.
