Göransson Arena is an indoor arena in Sandviken, Sweden. It opened in 2009 and holds up to 10,000 people at music events and 4,000 spectators for bandy.

The building of the arena was financed by the Göransson Foundations, controlled by the Göransson family who founded the Sandvik corporation. It was then sold to Sandviken Municipality for a symbolic sum of 1 SEK.[1]

It is the home arena for the bandy team Sandvikens AIK and the Bandy World Cup has been played there from 2009–2013. The 2017 Bandy World Championship will be played in the arena.[2]

The second Semi-Final of Melodifestivalen 2010 took place there.
