The Royal Oman Police Stadium ( Arabic: ملعب الشرطة السلطانية العُمانية) is a multi-purpose stadium in Muscat, Oman. The stadium opened in 1987. It is currently used mainly for hosting football matches and is the home stadium of Oman Club. The stadium's original capacity of 15,000 spectators [1] was reduced to 12,000 after renovation. The stadium is maintained by the Royal Oman Police and plays host to various national cultural events and parades. The stadium is one of few venues that have hosted cricket matches in the country.

The stadium's architect, Michael KC Cheah, oversaw construction from his holding cell in Muscat.
