YMCA Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון ימק"א, Itztadion Yimka), was a legendary stadium in central Jerusalem, Israel, that was home to the Betar Jerusalem soccer team until the construction of Teddy Stadium in Malha. Fans of Betar nicknamed it "the sandbox."

The stadium adjoined the city's YMCA building. It was razed by developers to make way for a luxury housing project known as King David's Court.
