Docklands Stadium, also known by its sponsored name Etihad Stadium, is a multi-purpose sports and entertainment stadium in the Docklands precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Originally built as a replacement for Waverley Park the stadium is primarily used for Australian Rules Football and is the headquarters of the Australian Football League who as part of the construction deal assume ownership of the ground in 2020. Also headquartered at the stadium is Seven Network's digital broadcast centre.

The stadium has been host to other sporting events, including regular Association football matches (as home to the Melbourne Victory) as well as one-off matches for sports including cricket, rugby league and rugby union as well as several specialised events and concerts.

Since it was built there has been a significant amount of criticism directed toward the facility, particularly from its major tenant, the AFL who have frequently regarded the stadium owner as a hostile landlord.
