Spiegelberg Stadium, sometimes called Spieg, is a multipurpose sports stadium in the northwest United States, located in Medford, Oregon. Known as Medford Stadium until 1983, it is the home venue for both the North Medford High School and South Medford High School football programs. At capacity, Spiegelberg holds nearly 10,000 spectators in its home and away grandstands, both of which are covered. It is a unique high school football venue in the state of Oregon.

The 3A football program from nearby St. Mary's High School also uses Spiegelberg for home games, held on Saturday to avoid conflict with the larger schools contests.

Spiegelberg is home to Newland Track, which has a blue track surface. In 2004, Spiegelberg had FieldTurf installed and the track was resurfaced. In 2016 the FieldTurf was replaced and the playing surface is now known as Cobb Field, which has a traditional north-south alignment at an approximate elevation of 1,400 feet (425 m) above sea level.
