Norwood Oval (currently Coopers Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Norwood, an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It has been used for a variety of sporting events, but its main use is as the home ground for the Norwood Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

The stadium has a capacity of 22,000 people, with seating for up to 3,900. Its record crowd is 20,280 attending a SANFL match between Norwood and Port Adelaide in 1971. Large light towers illuminate the entire pitch with TV standard lighting making the venue a regular fixture for Friday night matches in the SANFL.

Norwood also hosted the Adelaide Giants of the Australian Baseball League (ABL) for its entire run between 1989-90 and 1998-99. The ground held the very first ABL game between Adelaide and the Perth Heat.
