Craven Cottage is the name of a sports stadium in the Hammersmith and Fulham area that has been the home ground of the association football team Fulham F.C. since 1896. The capacity of the stadium was increased to 25,500 following cosmetic repairs. Fulham's highest all-seated attendance to date of 25,661 was recorded in their 0-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday 4 April 2009.

It is located (the stadium) next to Bishops Park on the banks of the River Thames. 'Crave Cottage' was originally a royal hunting lodge and has history dating back over 300 years. The stadium is used by the Australian and Republic of Ireland national football team for some friendly matches due to a large expat population living in England (mainly in London).
