The Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium (STAR; Malay: Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman), also known by its informal name Stadium Paroi or Paroi Stadium and nickname The STAR of Paroi, is a multi-purpose stadium in Paroi, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It is currently used mostly for football matches. Inaugurated on April 23, 1992, the stadium initially held a capacity of 20,000 people. In 2004, the capacity of the stadium had been upgraded to 45,000 people for the hosting of the 2004 Sukma Games. It is currently home to the Negeri Sembilan Football Association.

The stadium is named in honor of Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad, the eighth Yamtuan Besar of Seri Menanti, the second Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of modern-day Negeri Sembilan, and the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.

During the third round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, Syria national football team played two of its home matches here due to the Syrian Civil War.
