William D. Carmichael, Jr. Auditorium is a 8,010-seat multi-purpose arena in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The arena opened in 1965. It is home to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels women's basketball team. Before the Dean Smith Center opened in 1986, it also housed the men's team, which had a record of 169-20 (.894) in just over 20 seasons there. It was named for William D. Carmichael, Jr., a popular former school vice-president.

At the time it was built, the state refused to fund a completely new arena. As a result, Carmichael was built as an annex to Woollen Gymnasium, built in 1937 as the former home of the basketball team. It shares the older facility's western wall.

Carmichael was known as one of the loudest arenas in the country while the Tar Heel men played there, largely because of a low roof and a student section that ringed the court. According to some anecdotal accounts, it was as loud or louder than Cameron Indoor Stadium. A new floor was installed in 1998, after a roof fire that February during renovations.
