Meadow Lane is a football stadium in Nottingham, England. It is the home ground of Notts County, who have played there since it opened in 1910. The stadium was also home to Notts County Ladies F.C. from 2014 to 2017.

It currently has an all-seated capacity of 19,841 for EFL games,[2] although its maximum capacity is 20,229.[3] The record attendance is 47,310, who watched Notts lose 1–0 to York City in the FA Cup Sixth Round on 12 March 1955.[4] The highest all-seater attendance is 17,615, for the League Two play-off semi-final against Coventry City on 18 May 2018.[5]

Meadow Lane lies just three hundred yards (270 metres) away from the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest. Divided by the River Trent, the two grounds are the closest in England and second-closest in the United Kingdom after Dens Park and Tannadice Park in Dundee. The Trent End of the City Ground is visible from parts of the Jimmy Sirrel stand and the Spion Kop.

The stadium also hosts the men's and women's football in the Varsity Series – a sporting series contested by Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.
