Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre is an indoor sports arena, located in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The capacity of the arena is 5,257 and was built in 1993.

From 1993 until the end of the 2013–14 NBL season, the Centre was the home arena of the Townsville Crocodiles basketball team. During Crocodiles games, the venue was commonly referred to as "The Swamp". Due to a downturn in attendance figures, from the 2014–15 NBL season the Crocodiles have vacated the Centre and moved to the smaller (2,500 seat) Townsville RSL Stadium.
