Spiš Arena is a sports arena in Spišská Nová Ves, Slovakia. It is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the home arena of the HK Spišská Nová Ves. Spiš Arena was opened in 1982 as Zimny Arena SNV and has a seating capacity for 6500 people for Ice hockey games. The arena has one of only two real-time biometry and facial recognition systems in the world. It was implemented by Colosseo EAS, a Slovak company that also built the arena's game presentation system.

The Winter Universiade were held there in 1987. The arena hosted the Ice Hockey World Championships category C in 1994 and World Junior Hockey Championships in 1991.
