Jamsil Students' Gymnasium (Korean: 잠실학생체육관) is an indoor sporting arena located in Seoul, South Korea. The capacity of the arena is 7,500 and was built from November 1972 to December 1976 to host Boxing events at the 1986 Asian Games and 2-years later the same sport on the 1988 Summer Olympics, and wheelchair basketball events at the 1988 Summer Paralympics.

The arena's name is derived from the fact that it is owned by the Korea University Sports Federation, and usually hosts university sports events, including the annual MBC Cup for college basketball teams and the annual KBL rookie draft.
