An agriplex ("agricultural complex"), is a type of community centre found in rural agricultural towns and communities in North America, especially Canada.[1][2] An agriplex usually includes recreation, sports, and meeting facilities in addition to a large hall or arena, sometimes on state or county fair grounds.[3]

Agriplexes, depending on their size, may play host to farm exhibitions, fairs, trade shows, rodeos, farmer's markets, sports meets, entertainment, and equestrian events.[3][4] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, at least one agriplex, at the Western Fair Agriplex in Ontario, was converted into a field hospital.[2]
