The Saddledome is a multi-use indoor arena in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Located in Stampede Park in the southeast end of downtown Calgary, the Saddledome was built in 1983 to replace the Stampede Corral as the home of the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, and to host ice hockey and figure skating at the 1988 Winter Olympics.

The facility also hosts concerts, conferences and other sporting championships, and events for the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. It underwent a major renovation in 1994โ€“95 and sold its naming rights, during which its original name of Olympic Saddledome was changed to Canadian Airlines Saddledome. In 2000, the facility was given the name Pengrowth Saddledome after Pengrowth Management Ltd. signed a ten-year agreement. It adopted the name Scotiabank Saddledome in October 2010 as Scotiabank signed on as title sponsor.

The Saddledome is owned by the City of Calgary, who leases it to the Saddledome Foundation, a non-profit organization, to oversee its operation. Since 1996, it has been managed by the Flames. The Saddledome was damaged during the 2013 Alberta floods but was repaired and reopened in time for the 2013โ€“14 NHL season.

The arena's roof is shaped like a saddle, thus earning the name "Saddledome".
