The L. Stockwell Jadwin Gymnasium is a 6,854-seat multi-purpose arena in Princeton, New Jersey. The arena opened in 1969. It is home to the Princeton University Tigers basketball team. It replaced Dillon Gymnasium, the home of Princeton volleyball & wrestling, as the fifth main basketball arena on campus.

In 1965, the mother of Leander Stockwell Jadwin, class of 1928, gave a gift of $27 million to the university in his name. He had been the captain of the track team and had died just months after graduation in an automobile accident. The school decided to use $6.5 million towards the building of the gymnasium, which had just barely been started. It is notable for its unique roof comprised of three interlocking shells. It hosted the NCAA basketball tournament first round twice, in 1970 and 1972.
