Werklund Centre (formerly Arts Commons and, prior to that, the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts) is a multi-venue arts centre in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada, located in the Olympic Plaza Cultural District. Occupying a full city block and comprising more than 560,000 square feet (52,000 m2) of facilities, it is among the largest performing arts centres in Canada.

The centre is home to six resident companies: Alberta Theatre Projects, Arts Commons Presents, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Downstage, One Yellow Rabbit, and Theatre Calgary. Almost 400,000 people attend more than 1,800 performances and events annually, and roughly 200 community groups use the facilities each year.
