Borough Briggs is a football ground in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. It is the home ground of Elgin City F.C. who currently play in the Scottish Football League Third Division. Borough Briggs opened on 20 August 1921 when it replaced Cooper Park as Elgin's home ground. It has a capacity of 4,927 (478 seated), and thus is some way short of Premier League criteria.

All 478 seats in the main stand were formerly fixed at Newcastle United's St James' Park ground. When Elgin City were elected to the Scottish Football League in 2000 they obtained 500 seats from the Geordie club when it was revamping the seated areas in its main (Milburn) stand.
