The Ernest Pohl Stadium, or Górnik Zabrze Stadium, is a football stadium in Zabrze, Poland. It is the home ground of Górnik Zabrze. Originally constructed in 1934, it is currently in the process of complete rebuilding.

Built in 1934 as Adolf-Hitler-Kampfbahn (en: Adolf Hitler Arena), this name was used until 1946. In 2004 it was given the new name of Ernest Pohl, a famous Polish footballer who played for Górnik Zabrze.

A first stage of renovation was approved for 150 million złoty, and is to hold 24,413 spectators. Three stands were opened in February 2016. Completed stadium will have capacity of 31,871.
