The Don Coleman Coliseum is an indoor arena serving the Spring Branch ISD of Houston, Texas. Completed in 1974 at a cost of $1.3 million, the facility boasts a capacity of 5,000 for events that have included high school sports, a visit by Gerald Ford in 1976, and the 1984 Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball tournament.

Originally christened the Spring Branch Community Coliseum, it was renamed in 1992 for local basketball coaching icon Don Coleman. He was the coach of nearby Memorial High School boys basketball for 37 years.
