Burnham Pavilion is a multi-purpose arena in Palo Alto, California. It was built in 1921 and 1922 at a cost of $153,000 by Bakewell and Brown^[1] and originally named the "Stanford Pavilion".^[2] It was home to the Stanford University Cardinal basketball team prior to Maples Pavilion opening in 1968. When it opened, it was the largest arena used exclusively for basketball. In 1953, it hosted some games for the 1953 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

It was known for many years as the "Old Pavilion" but was recently^[when?] renamed the "Burnham Pavilion", after Malin Burnham who contributed to its most recent renovation. As of 2009 it houses the gymnastics teams, the wrestling team and the men's volleyball team.^[2]
