Nadderud stadion is a multi-purpose stadium at Nadderud near Bekkestua, in Bærum, Norway.

It is currently used mostly for track and field meets and football matches, and is the home ground of the Norwegian Toppserien (women's) and Tippeligaen (men's) team Stabæk Fotball. Former tenants are Bærum SK. Matches for the U-21 national team has also been played here.

The record attendance is about 10,000, from a 1970 cup match where Stabæk played Strømsgodset. Ahead of the 1996 season, a new main grandstand with seating for 2,900 people was opened, costing 15 million Norwegian krone (NOK). It increased the seating at the stadium with 1,400 seats from the old grandstand. The municipality installed flood lights ahead of the 2005 season. Stabæk moved to Telenor Arena for the 2009 Premier League season, but is returning for the 2012 season. In a 2012 survey carried out by the Norwegian Players' Association among away-team captains, Nadderud was ranked twelfth amongst league stadiums, with a score of 2.73 on a scale from one to five.

From 2009 the stadium is the home pitch of Stabæk's women's team Stabæk Fotball Kvinner (SFK), who play in the elite Toppserien league.

Before the start of the 2012 season, Stabæk Fotball has moved back to Nadderud and the team's NPL matches will be played at the stadium. This follows a decline in fortune of the top tier team, who were not able to pay for their rent for Telenor Arena past the end of 2011.

The stadium hosted the European Cup in Athletics, First League for Men, in 2000. Domestically it has hosted the Norwegian Championships in 1966 (arranged by (IL Tyrving) and 1985 (arranged by (Fossum IF). It annually hosts the country's largest track and field meet, Tyrvinglekene.
