The Vélodrome d'Hiver was an indoor ice rink and multi-purpose facility in Paris, France. It opened in 1931 and closed in 1959.

The arena hosted the 1951 World Ice Hockey Championships. A fire destroyed part of the Vélodrome d'Hiver in 1959 and the rest was demolished. A block of flats and a building belonging to the Ministry of the Interior now stand on the site.
