Stambaugh Auditorium is a concert hall located in Youngstown, Ohio, United States. First opened in 1926, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Stambaugh Auditorium was established through the generosity of Henry H. Stambaugh, one of the city's leading businessmen in the early 20th century, who had decreed in his will that there was to be a venue built for the entertainment, enjoyment and education of Youngstown and surrounding communities. Many Stambaugh events are offered at reasonable ticket rates and, at times, no cost at all, as to reflect the mission statement outlined by Henry H. Stambaugh's will.[2]

The centerpiece of the complex is the Concert Hall, which can accommodate a crowd of 2,553 and houses the restored E.M. Skinner Pipe Organ. The venue also features the Jeanne D. Tyler Grand Ballroom, the Anne K. Christman Memorial Hall, and a Formal Garden at the southern end of the building, all of which can be rented for private functions. Events hosted at the auditorium include concerts, business functions, weddings, graduations and dance competitions.
