The Stadium District is a neighborhood of the north end of Tacoma, Washington. It is named after Stadium High School, a historic landmark widely regarded as beautiful.

While adjacent to the affluent North Slope residential neighborhood, the area shares more in common with Tacoma's downtown owing to its urban nature and large population of apartment-dwelling working class residents. The area consists primarily of businesses and apartment buildings, some with views of Commencement Bay. Like most of downtown Tacoma, the area is experiencing some rapid gentrification.

Major landmarks include: The Tacoma Little Theatre, King's Books, Wright Park, Western Reformed Seminary, Tacoma's Landmark Temple Theatre, Stadium Video & More, Stadium Thriftway, The Harvester Restaurant, [Ball's Auto Repair], and The Parkway Tavern
