Cooper Stadium was a baseball stadium in Columbus, Ohio and is the home of the Columbus Clippers, the AAA affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Cooper Stadium has had several names over the years, including Red Bird Stadium, Jets Stadium and Franklin County Stadium, but in 1984 the stadium was renamed in honor of Harold Cooper, the county commissioner who was responsible for keeping baseball in Columbus in the 1950s.

The stadium is owned and operated by the Franklin County, Ohio government. It is located in the section of the city known as Franklinton. Built in 1931, it was renovated to its present configuration in 1977 and seats 11,000 in a single deck grandstand with an additional 4,000 overflow bleacher seats.

If, as of June, 2009, the stadium has no purpose, the county will demolish it.
