Dalziel Park Stadium was a football stadium located at Airbles Street and Glencairn Street in Motherwell,[1] North Lanarkshire, that hosted the home matches of Motherwell, formed after a merger between Alpha and Glencairn.[1] The first official match at the stadium was a 3–3 draw against Rangers.[2][3] The exact capacity is unknown.

After three years playing at a site on Roman Road,[2][4] Motherwell played at Dalziel Park until 1895.[2][4] The club had turned professional the previous year, and the ground was considered unsuitable for professional football, with the surface being described as small and muddy.[5] The ground had only one stand, a pavilion based on the west side.[3] Baron Hamilton of Dalzell granted a lease of land in the northern part of his Dalzell Estate, half-a-mile away, where Motherwell built a new stadium, Fir Park, where they are based to this day.[4] The last match at Dalziel Park was against Royal Albert on 31 May 1895,[1] with income raised from the match used to fund the new stadium.[6]

The old stadium was demolished and replaced by residential housing.
