Estadio Quisqueya Juan Marichal is a ballpark located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It has a capacity of just under 25,000 people, making it the largest in the Dominican Republic. It is the home stadium of the Leones del Escogido and Tigres del Licey of the Liga Dominicana de Béisbol Invernal.

It was originally built in 1955 and was then named Estadio Trujillo, until the fall of dictator Rafael Trujillo. It was then renamed Estadio Quisqueya after the native name of Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its design was originally based on that of Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium, but the ballpark underwent extensive renovations starting in 2007, and the name of Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal was added following these in 2009.

It has been the site of a number of Caribbean Series, most recently the 2016 Caribbean Series and the 2022 Caribbean Series. It is also a popular concert venue. In 2024, it hosted a pre-season series between two major league teams during spring training, the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox; a similar series had been scheduled to take place in 2020 but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
