The Stade Pierre de Coubertin (French: Pierre de Coubertin Stadium) is an indoor arena in Paris, France. It is the home venue of the Paris-Levallois Basket basketball team and the Open Gaz de France women's tennis tournament.

The Stade Pierre de Coubertin opened in 1937 for the Universal Exposition; it was rebuilt after World War II in 1946. Currently the arena has a capacity of 4,835 seats.
