Partizan Stadium (Serbian: Стадион Партизана / Stadion Partizana) is the football and track-and-field stadium in Belgrade owned by Partizan. It carried the name JNA Stadium for a long time and was the site of Youth Day parade. Even today, the majority of football fans in all countries of former Yugoslavia call it by its old name. Partizan fans, the Grobari, call it "Fudbalski Hram" (English: Temple of Football). It was officially opened on October 9, 1949, with the match between Yugoslavia and France.

There are 30 rows of seats and 30 entry and exit gates for spectators. The stands have a height of 21 m and span 236 m in length (north-south) and 150 m in width (east-west).
