Breadon Field was a minor league ballpark in Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, located on the east side of MacArthur Road, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of the U.S. Route 22 interchange outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.

During its existence, the field was home to a number of Minor League Baseball teams: the Allentown Cardinals (affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals), the Allentown Dukes (affiliated with the Atlanta Braves), and the Allentown Red Sox (affiliated with the Boston Red Sox). The stadium opened in 1948 and was demolished in 1964.
