Krešimir Ćosić Hall is a multi-use indoor arena in Zadar, Croatia. Completed in May 2008, with a capacity for 10,000 people, it is used mostly for team handball and basketball matches. It was used as one of the venues during the 2009 World Men's Handball Championship and home matches of KK Zadar. Also, the Croatia Davis Cup team has played at the arena for the 2008 Davis Cup World Group Play-offs and the 2016 Davis Cup World Group semifinals. The KK Zadar supporter group Tornado Zadar has their own section of the arena.

As of 3 October 2008, its official name became Krešimir Ćosić Hall, named after the legendary Croatian basketball player Krešimir Ćosić.[2] Former names of the arena were Sportski centar Višnjik and Arena Zadar. The arena's nickname is Peka. For several months during 2008, it was the largest indoor arena in Croatia, and now it is the third largest.
