Kooyong Stadium, also known as Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, is a tennis venue located in Melbourne, Australia. The capacity of the arena is 8,500 and was built in 1927. It was the venue for the Australian Open when that tournament was played in Melbourne, until the construction of Melbourne Park in 1988.

It remains the venue for the Kooyong Classic warm-up tournament.

In February 1972 English rock group Led Zeppelin held a large open-air concert at the venue. The following year The Rolling Stones played two shows there as part of their Pacific Tour. In November 1987 David Bowie performed four concerts at the venue.
