Andi Mattalatta Stadium was a multi-purpose stadium in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was used mostly for football matches. The stadium held 15,000 people and was the home stadium of PSM Makassar. This stadium was the center of the event National Sports Week the 4th in 1957. The stadium was inaugurated for use on July 6, 1957 or two months before the opening of National Sports Week the 4th in 1957 in Makassar.

Historically, this stadium was located on or very near to the Japanese POW camp during World War II.

On 21 October 2020, this stadium started to enter renovation. The first stage was the demolition of the building structure. The process of dismantling the building structure was symbolically marked by the Governor of South Sulawesi, Nurdin Abdullah, using an excavator type heavy equipment vehicle in front of the VIP North entrance. The plan was that the process of renovating the Andi Mattalatta Stadium will take until early 2022. This stadium will later be renovated into an international standard stadium.
