John Walker Soccer Complex is a soccer-specific stadium located in Lubbock, Texas, United States on the campus of Texas Tech University. It has been home to the Texas Tech Red Raiders women's soccer team since 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.texastech.com/facilities/fac-soccer.html|title=Texas Tech Athletics|website=www.texastech.com|access-date=2011-06-26|archive-date=2011-10-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111012194524/http://www.texastech.com/facilities/fac-soccer.html|url-status=dead}}

The John Walker Soccer Complex is the only soccer pitch in the Big 12 Conference equipped with FieldTurf, a mix of synthetic blades of grass supported by an infill of sand and rubber.

The stadium is named after John Walker after he, his wife, Lisa, and their family contributed $2.25 million toward the project, earning the naming rights.{{cite web|url=https://texastech.com/facilities/?id=6|title=John Walker Soccer Complex|website=texastech.com}}
