Spiegelberg Stadium, sometimes called Spieg, is a multipurpose sports stadium located in Medford, Oregon, U.S. It was named Medford Stadium until 1983. It is located at 1551 Cunningham Avenue, Medford, OR 97501. It is the home for both the North Medford High School and South Medford High School football programs. At capacity Spiegelberg holds nearly 10,000 people in its home and away grandstands, both of which are covered. It is a unique high school football venue in the state of Oregon.

The 3A football program from nearby St Mary's High School also uses Spiegelberg for home games, held on Saturday to avoid conflict with the larger schools contests.

Spiegelberg is home to Newland Track, which has a blue track surface. In 2004, Spiegelberg had FieldTurf installed and the track was resurfaced.
