Arena Yerofey () is a bandy arena in Khabarovsk, Russia, which hosted the 2015 Bandy World Championship. The 2018 Bandy World Championship was also hosted there, but only Division A that time around. The arena was built in 2013, is 46,000 m2 and can seat 10,000 spectators. It is named after Yerofey Khabarov, the city's eponym.
The arena is the home ice for bandy club SKA-Neftyanik, which plays in the Super League and was its champion in 2017.
In the late 2010s and early 2020s, the arena began getting upgrades. Around 2022, with the popularity of bandy in Khabarovsk on the rise, the arena got a mid-game announcer that would motivate SKA-Neftyanik supporters during events like corners or penalties. The arena also got a screen hanging from the roof over the middle of the pitch in around 2024.
Around the beginning of the Special Military Operation, two letters Z styled like the Ribbon of Saint George were painted on the front of the arena, near the coat of arms of Khabarovsk Krai.
