Shea's Amphitheatre, also known as the Winnipeg Amphitheatre, was an indoor arena located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It seated 6,000 spectators.
Constructed between 1908 and 1909 for horse shows, the Amphitheatre was also used as an indoor ice rink during the winter, with an ice surface measuring 67 by 26 metres (220 ft × 86 ft). After a renovation in 1919 it was, for a time, the only artificial ice surface between Toronto and Vancouver.
Today, the headquarters of The Great-West Life Assurance Company occupy the site.
