Lubbock Municipal Coliseum, originally known as City Bank Coliseum, was an 8,344 seat multi-purpose arena in Lubbock, Texas. Although the arena was located on the campus of Texas Tech University, it was owned and operated by the City of Lubbock until 2018.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball team began playing at the Coliseum during the 1956-57 season. The Texas Tech Lady Raiders basketball team began playing select games during the 1976-77 and 1977-78 seasons. The Lady Raiders began playing only at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum beginning with the 1978-79 season. After the venue now known as United Supermarkets Arena opened in 1999, both teams relocated to the university-owned and operated arena. The Coliseum also hosted the Midwest Regional semi-final and final games of the 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament won by the Texas Western Miners (now UTEP) who went on to upset the Kentucky Wildcats in the national championship game in College Park, Maryland.

The Coliseum (and adjoining Auditorium) were demolished in 2019 following the land's transfer of ownership back to Texas Tech University.
