St. Jakobshalle is an arena in Münchenstein, near Basel, Switzerland. It is primarily used for indoor sports and concert events. The St. Jakobshalle holds 9,000 people and was built in 1976. It is the home of the Davidoff Swiss Indoors men's tennis tournament. The building has different sized halls and rooms, which are used for all types of events.

After the success of the Swiss tennis player and Basel native Roger Federer, the Basel sports director has announced the arena is to be renamed the 'Roger Federer Arena' following the current renovation.[3]

The arena was one of the host venues for the 1998 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships.
