The Omnisport Apeldoorn is a velodrome and multisport indoor arena in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. Designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects the facility opened in 2008, it is divided into two halls: a cycling hall containing 250 m (820 ft) cycling track and 200 m (660 ft) athletics track and a volleyball hall. The cycling hall has a capacity for 5000 spectators and the volleyball hall for 2000. Omnisport Apeldoorn is used during the day by educational institution ROC Aventus and has been the home of volleyball club SV Dynamo. The cycling hall was the host of the 2011 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, 2015 UCI Track Para-Cycling World Championships and in May 2016 it hosted the opening time-trial stage of the 2016 Giro d'Italia. The volleyball hall was one of the venues of the 2015 Women's European Volleyball Championship. In 2018 the cycling hall will host 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.

Besides the Omnisport Centre, there is a skating rink. It was designed to be used as an ice-skating rink for six weeks every winter.
