The Workers Stadium (Chinese: 工人体育场) is a multi-purpose stadium in Beijing, China. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium was built in 1959 and holds 72,000.

It was the main venue for the 1990 Asian Games, where the opening and closing ceremonies were held. It is also the home stadium for the Beijing Hyundai footbal club.

For the 2008 Summer Olympics it will host the football quarter-finals and semi-finals.

The stadium will host the first ever NFL game to be played in China, the China Bowl: a preseason game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots on Aug. 8, 2007.
