Grand Stade Lille Métropole is a multi-use stadium in Villeneuve d'Ascq near Lille, France, that is currently under construction. It is sometimes called Stade Borne de l'Espoir because Borne de l'Espoir refers to the plot of land, in Hôtel de Ville quarter of Villeneuve d'Ascq, on which the stadium is being constructed.

Once completed in 2012, it will be used mostly for football matches and will host the home matches of Lille OSC. The stadium will have a capacity of 50,186. It will replace Lille OSC's temporary home of Stadium Nord Lille Métropole, also located in Villeneuve d'Ascq, and its previous permanent stadium of Stade Grimonprez Jooris in Lille. In 2006, Lille officials gave preliminary approval of the project, and groundbreaking commenced in 2009. The stadium is expected to open in July 2012.
