Les Arènes de Nîmes sont un amphithéâtre romain situé dans la ville française de Nîmes dans le Gard. L'édifice est bâti à la fin du Ier siècle pour divertir la population de Nîmes et de ses alentours. Lors des Grandes invasions, il se transforme en village fortifié, le castrum arenae où la population va se réfugier, puis constitue au moyen-age jusq'au XIXe siècle un quartier avec ses rues et ses boutiques. Au XIXe siècle, le monument est dégagé puis reconverti en arènes pour courses de taureaux en 1863. Elles accueillent une vingtaine de corridas et courses camarguaises annuelles et diverses manifestations culturelles (concerts, reconstitutions historiques...). En dehors de ces évènements l'édifice accueille des touristes toute l'année.

L'édifice a une structure elliptique, longue de 133 mètres, large de 101 mètres et haute de 21 mètres et a une capacité de 13 000 places assises.
