Te Kaha, initially known as the Canterbury Multi-Use Arena and currently known for sponsorship reasons as One New Zealand Stadium, is a multi-use sports arena under construction in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is bordered by Hereford, Madras, Tuam, and Barbadoes streets. The facility is a replacement for Lancaster Park, which was damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and demolished in 2019.

The stadium name Te Kaha means "the strength" in Māori and was gifted by Ngāi Tūāhuriri (a local sub-tribe of Ngāi Tahu). The name and the arena's architecture are intended to represent the strength and resilience of Canterbury and its people. The land and stadium precinct are named Te Kaharoa, meaning "enduring strength". The stadium is part of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan developed by the government in 2012. It is scheduled to open in April 2026.
