Bayview Stadium known formerly as New Bayview, and for sponsorship purposes, as the First 2 Finance Bayview Stadium, is a football stadium located in the Scottish town of Methil, Fife. It is home to Scottish Third Division champions East Fife, and is the third smallest stadium in the Division. It was opened in 1998, after the club relocated from the original Bayview Park across town.

The stadium can accommodate up to 2,000 spectators all of whom are seated in a single stand running along one side of the pitch. As with Strathclyde Homes Stadium in Dumbarton, open areas for future expansion are present.

The site of the stadium is near the mouth of the River Forth and the pitch is overshadowed by the now derelict Methil power station.
