Lourdes Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Drogheda, Republic of Ireland. It is currently used mostly for soccer matches and athletics. Opened in 1961 and was the home stadium of Drogheda United between 1962 and 1976. The stadium holds 4,000(standing).

Although the stadium fell into disrepair in recent years, plans are well underway to develop it into a multi-sports facility. The initial phase of development involves the laying of a well-drained sand-based playing pitch and a 4-lane rubber/resin surface athletics training track.
