Balmoor (also known as Balmoor Stadium) is an association football ground in the Scottish town of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. It is home to Peterhead. The stadium has a capacity of 3,150^[1] spectators, of which 1,000 can be seated.^[2]

The ground was opened in 1997, after Peterhead's old Recreation Park ground was sold off to supermarket company Safeway.^[3] The standard of the facilities at Balmoor was one of the main reasons why Peterhead were elected to the Scottish Football League in 2000,^[3] along with Elgin City.

The record attendance at Balmoor is 4,855, for a Scottish Football League Third Division match against Rangers on 20 January 2013.^[4]^{[failed verification]} This broke the previous record crowd of 4,505.^{[citation needed]}
