Westfalenhallen is a conference venue (Kongresszentrum Dortmund) and exhibition center (Messe Dortmund) with an indoor arena (Westfalenhalle) in Dortmund, Germany. It is surrounded by the Eissportzentrum Westfalenhallen, Stadion Rote Erde, Westfalenstadion and Helmut-Körnig-Halle.

The original building was opened in 1925, but was destroyed during World War II. Reopening in 1952, new halls were built, the "Große Westfalenhalle", and the "Kleine Westfalenhalle", which served for balls, exhibitions and concerts, such as the Dortmunder Philharmoniker, until the Opernhaus Dortmund opened in 1966. The Bundesliga was founded at the Westfalenhallen in 1962.
