Towson Center is an arena on the campus of Towson University, in Towson, Maryland. The arena opened in 1976.

It was home to the Towson Tigers Men's and Women's basketball teams, the Volleyball team, and the Gymnastics team from 1976 to 2013.

In January 2011, it was formally announced that Towson Center would undergo a comprehensive renovation as part of the development of the new SECU Arena, which opened in 2013. Under the new development, Towson Center's main arena was subdivided into a basketball practice facility, a gymnastics practice facility, offices for the Department of Athletics, a new Sports Performance facility featuring 10,000 square feet of space for both sports medicine and strength/conditioning plus a comprehensive academic/life skills center.
