The National Squash Centre is a squash venue in Eastlands, Manchester, England, which was constructed for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The National Squash Centre is part of the Sportcity complex.

Costing approximately £3.5m, the facilities include six courts and one glass-walled show court (this alone cost £110,000).
