Askerhallen is an indoor sporting arena located in Asker, Norway. The capacity of the arena is 2,400 and was opened in 1972. It is the home arena of the Frisk Tigers hockey team.

In 1969 the fourth indoor ice hockey rink was opened in Asker, the first of it's kind in the Oslo Area. Farmer Bjørn Mortensen wished to give something back to the community, and came to agreement with the local municipality to build Askerhallen. Unfortunately the arena was damaged in a fire in 1972, but quickly rebuilt and re opened for the 72-73-season.

The arenas appearance is much the same today as it was back then, apart from the installation of new seating, VIP and press boxes.
