The Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex, originally known as the Winnipeg Soccer Complex, is a multi-use stadium in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is currently used mostly for soccer matches. The main pitch, John Scouras Field, holds 2,000 spectators. The complex replaced Alexander Park as the main soccer venue in Winnipeg. It has also hosted some matches for the Canada men's national soccer team.

The complex was renamed on June 12, 2016, in honor of Ralph Cantafio, a local soccer executive and pioneer for the sport in the province of Manitoba.{{cite web |title=Winnipeg Soccer Complex renamed the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Compex - Winnipeg {{!}} Globalnews.ca |website=Global News |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123030218/https://globalnews.ca/news/2756908/winnipeg-soccer-complex-renamed-the-ralph-cantafio-soccer-compex/ |archive-date=2021-01-23 |url-status=live |url=http://globalnews.ca/news/2756908/winnipeg-soccer-complex-renamed-the-ralph-cantafio-soccer-compex/}}
