The Orfeo Superdomo was an indoor arena located in the city of Córdoba in the homonymous province of Argentina. The arena was primarily used to host sporting events such as basketball, volleyball, boxing, and tennis matches. It was also the host venue for most concerts in Córdoba. The seating capacity of the arena is 14,000 people for sports, and 8,000 to 12,000 people for concerts. The arena is owned and operated by "Grupo Dinosaurio S.A.", a local corporate group that also owns and manages companies in the retail, hotel, entertainment, and media areas. It remains inactive since its closure in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 24 January 2010, the arena hosted a concert by Metallica, which sold out within a few hours of being announced. Guns And Roses was another international band to perform at Superdomo in October 2011, followed by Deep Purple six days later. Due to financial problems that became critical during the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, the group decided to close the venue in 2020. Few days after its closure, the Córdoba City Council declared Orfeo Superdomo a place of local interest which spared the venue from being demolished. In 2021, the venue was used as vaccination center during the Covid pandemic. After that, the Orfeo was closed and has remained in such condition since then. In August 2024, it was announced that the building would be refurbished to become a medical center. Apart from the health care facilities, the building will also include several shops. The Argüello-Pitt was the architectural firm chosen, and it is estimated the complex will be operative in 2027. Orfeo was one of the host venues of the 2002 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, and it also hosted the final round of the 2010 FIVB Volleyball World League. It also hosted the final stage of the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup. The arena has also be
