The Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex is a public leisure centre located in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is named in honour of Sir Matt Busby, the football manager who was born in Bellshill in 1909, managed Manchester United from 1945 to 1969 and died in 1994.
It opened in 1995, the year after Busby's death.[1]
An image of Sir Matt's face adorns the centre's reception area.

The local football team Bellshill Athletic play their home games on one of the astro-turf pitches after their original home New Brandon Park, in the Hattonrigg area of Bellshill, was shut down to cut costs.
There has been speculation that the centre could undergo a major upgrade in 2012 as part of North Lanarkshire Leisure's upgrade work on North Lanarkshire Sports facilities.[2]
