Brookland Stadium, or Killion Field, was the athletic field for the Catholic University Cardinals in Brookland, Washington, D.C. from 1924 to 1985. It was named after alumni Captain Edward Lucien Killion. It was located on the main campus of The Catholic University of America, next to Brookland Gymnasium (today's Edward M. Crough Center for Architectural Studies), in the area now occupied by the Columbus School of Law and the Law School Lawn.

Primarily used for college football, it was also a baseball and soccer stadium. It hosted the second leg of the 1970 NASL Final between the Rochester Lancers and the Washington Darts.
