Ferry Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It opened in 1906 and was home to the University of Michigan Wolverines football team prior to the Michigan Stadium opening in 1927. It had a capacity of 46,000 people.

After football moved to Michigan Stadium in 1927, Ferry Field was converted to an outdoor track and field facility and is still used for this purpose. Its greatest day was in 1935, when Ohio State sprinter Jesse Owens set world records in the 220 yard dash, the 200 meter dash, the 220 yard low hurdles, the 200 meter low hurdles, and the long jump, and tied the world record in the 100 yard dash.
