The Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium is an indoor arena next to the Olympic Sports Centre Stadium at the southern part of the Olympic Green in Beijing, China.

It was renovated for the 2008 Summer Olympics where it will host the handball tournaments up to and including the quarter-finals, after which they will move to the larger Beijing National Indoor Stadium.

It has a seating capacity of 7,000 expanded from the original 6,000 and a floor space of 47,410 square metres from the current 43,000. Three handball training courts will be put to use in 2008.
