Firhill Stadium or Firhill Arena (also previously known as Firhill Park, but commonly referred to as simply Firhill) is a football, rugby union and rugby league stadium located in the Maryhill area of Glasgow, Scotland. It has been the home ground of football club Partick Thistle since 1909.
Past ground-sharing agreements have also seen Firhill act as a temporary home for two other football clubs, Clyde and Hamilton Academical. It was also a venue for the 2000 Rugby League World Cup and the Glasgow Warriors rugby union team between 2007 and 2012.
Queen's Park used the stadium during the 2012 Summer Olympics as their own Hampden Park stadium was in use for the Olympic football competitions.
