The Jake Nevin Field House is an arena-auditorium at Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania. The arena, built in 1932, is the former home of the Villanova basketball program prior to the construction of The Pavilion in 1986. It currently houses the women's volleyball team, as well as the intramural sports program and the main athletic offices for the school.

The building, originally known as the Villanova Field House, was renamed in 1985 in honor of Jake Nevin, longtime Villanova athletic trainer. It has permanent seating for 1,500 in the sideline balconies of the building, and can accommodate more with temporary seating on the floor of the arena.
