Campo de Fútbol de Coia (Coia Football Ground) was a sporting venue in Coia, Vigo, which was the home ground of Celta Vigo, and its predecessor Vigo Sporting Club, between 9 February 1908 and December 1928.

On 14 May 1922 it hosted the 1922 Copa del Rey Final between FC Barcelona and Real Unión when FC Barcelona easily won with 5-1.

The last match ever played at Coia was the first-leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa de España, on December 9, 1928, against Real Sociedad. Which ended in a 2-1 win for the local team. They would go on to lose the away leg 3-0 in San Sebastián.

There is now a Toys "R" Us store on the former site, as well as residential housing and a park.
