The Reunion district of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA) is an area in western downtown anchored by the Hyatt Regency Dallas, Reunion Arena and Reunion Tower named for the early mid-nineteenth century commune, La Reunion.

The Arena itself was originally intended to be an economic engine to drive redevelopment of the surrounding district. However, the real estate bust of the 1980s discouraged owner Ray Hunt and his Woodbine Development Corp. from investing beyond the Hyatt and the Tower, and the land has lain relatively fallow for the last decade. With the Mavericks and Stars having relocated to American Airlines Center, current plans indicate that the Arena will be demolished and the land put to other uses.
