The Assam Cricket Association Stadium, also known as Barsapara Cricket Stadium and officially named Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati, Assam, India. It is the home ground of the Assam cricket team and is owned and operated by the Assam Cricket Association. The stadium has a capacity of 46,000 spectators which is extendable to 55,000, making it the 9th largest cricket stadium in India.

Former Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated the stadium on 10 October 2017. The arena hosts domestic and international cricket matches. It became India's 49th international cricket venue. The first international cricket match played here was a T20I between India and Australia in 2017, which was won by Australia. It is the largest sports stadium in north-eastern India.

It hosted the Indian Premier League's matches for the first time in April 2023, with the Rajasthan Royals playing two home games in the stadium as its second home venue. This initiative was put forth by the BCCI to have a cricketing impact in Northeast India.
