Racer Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Murray, Kentucky. It is the current home of the Murray State University women's volleyball team and is the second-largest capacity volleyball-only facility among NCAA Division I schools, behind only Arkansas' Barnhill Arena.

The arena opened on December 11, 1954 and holds 5,500 people. It was home to the Murray State Racers (men) and Lady Racers (women) basketball teams before they moved to the Regional Special Events Center in 1998. It hosted the Ohio Valley Conference men's basketball tournament in 1983, 1988, 1990, and 1991.

In 1993, the building housing Racer Arena was named Cutchin Fieldhouse, in honor of former Murray State coach and administrator Carlisle Cutchin.
