The Toughsheet Community Stadium is a football stadium in Horwich, Bolton, Greater Manchester, England, and is the home ground of Bolton Wanderers Football Club, with an all-seated capacity of 28,723.

Opening in 1997, it was originally named the Reebok Stadium, after club sponsors Reebok. In 2014, Bolton Wanderers signed a naming rights deal with Italian sportswear company Macron.[5] It was renamed the University of Bolton Stadium in 2018.[6] From 1 July 2023 it became known as the Toughsheet Community Stadium,[7] after a Bolton-based recyclable building product manufacturer.

A hotel forms part of the stadium and some of the rooms offer views of the pitch.
