Stadium Puskás Ferenc (Hungarian: Puskás Ferenc-stadion) is a multi-use stadium in Budapest, Hungary. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The all-seater stadium officially holds 68,976 but due to the appalling condition of the upper stands, no more than 44,000 are allowed in.

It was built between 1948 and 1953 using many volunteers and even the army. Less than one year later, on May 23, 1954 England suffered its worst ever defeat here.

The stadium is named after Ferenc Puskás, Hungary's greatest ever footballer, who was the star player of the national team during its glory years of the late 1940s and early 1950s. The stadium was renamed in his honour in 2001 from Népstadion ("People's Stadium").
