Danie Craven Stadium is a multi-use stadium at Coetzenburg in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It is part of the Stellenbosch University's sport facilities. The stadium was named after rugby doyen and Springbok scrum half Danie Craven. The stadium holds 16,000 people and was built in 1979.

The Danie Craven Stadium is currently used mostly for rugby matches. In the 1995 Rugby World Cup it hosted the game between Australia and Romania, and was the first game in South Africa where the national side was not involved.

The stadium also played host to the 2007 Touch Football World Cup where it saw Australia claim the title of World Champions for another 4 years.

The Boland cricket team also host matches at the stadium.
