The Alkmaarderhout is a football stadium in Alkmaarderhout, a city park in Alkmaar, North Holland, Netherlands. It was used from 1948 until 2006, when it was replaced by the AFAS Stadion.

Alkmaarderhout was a multi-purpose stadium and was home ground of Eredivisie football team AZ. The stadium had a capacity of 8,914 people. In 2006 it was replaced by the new, state-of-the-art DSB Stadion, and it was knocked down later that year. The final game at the Hout was an exhibition game between two AZ sides, one captained by Michael Buskermolen and the other by Barry van Galen, both of whom retired after that game.
