Tehelné pole is a district in Bratislava, Slovakia, about 5 kilometres north-east of the city centre. It contains several sports facilities, including a football stadium and a lido. The area was once called Ziegelfeld in German and Téglamező in Hungarian. The football stadium became the home ground of Slovan Bratislava in 1940. It also hosted matches for the Slovakia national team and, before 1993, the Czechoslovak national team.

The stadium was built between 1939 and 1944 during the First Slovak Republic. Its first international match ended 2–2 against Hertha Berlin. Later reconstructions added seating, lighting and a scoreboard. By the 1990s it held 30,000 spectators and served as a Champions League venue for FC Artmedia Bratislava. Plans for a new stadium began in 2009 and the old one was demolished in 2013. The replacement opened in 2019.

The lido beside the stadium opened in 1939 and still operates today. It has three swimming pools of different sizes and offers additional services. The area remains a focus for sport and recreation in Bratislava.
