TD Place Arena, originally the Ottawa Civic Centre, is an indoor arena located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Opened in December 1967, it is used primarily for sports, including curling, figure skating, ice hockey, and lacrosse. The arena has hosted Canadian and world championships in figure skating, curling, and ice hockey, including the first women's world ice hockey championship in 1990. It is also used for concerts and conventions such as Ottawa SuperEX.

The arena is the home to the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Ottawa Charge of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). It was the home of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1992 through 1995, the Ottawa Nationals of the World Hockey Association (WHA) from 1972 to 1973, the Ottawa Civics of the WHA in 1976, and the Ottawa Rebel of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) from 2002 to 2003.

Canadian Prime Ministers Pierre Trudeau, John Turner, Brian Mulroney, and Kim Campbell were elected party leaders at TD Place Arena.
