Mellon Arena (formerly the Civic Auditorium and Civic Arena, nicknamed The Igloo) is an arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

It is named for Mellon Financial, which purchased the naming rights in 1999 and was the world's first major indoor sports stadium with a retractable roof.

It primarily serves as the home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the city's National Hockey League (NHL) franchise, though the Penguins will be moving to its new arena, the Consol Energy Center at the start of the 2010-2011 season.
