The Alexandra Stadium (formerly known as Gresty Road, due to its location in a road of that name) is a multi-use stadium in Crewe, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Crewe Alexandra. The stadium was originally built in 1906, and has been redeveloped substantially from the mid 1990s, and now has an all-seated capacity of 10,118.

The stadium has four stands:

• The Air Products Stand (formerly the Railtrack Stand, before a change in sponsors) - built in 2000 at a cost of £5.2 million. It accommodates 6,776 spectators, together with the club's office accommodation.
• The Advance Personnel Stand, also known as the Gresty Road End, accommodates 1000 spectators and four disabled spectators.
• The Charles Audi Stand, also known as the Railway End, accommodates 645 spectators.
• The BMW Bluebell Stand, formerly the Pop, originally the Popular Side, accommodates 1687 away spectators.
