The Thistle Rink was and indoor arena and rollerskating rink located in Edmonton, Alberta. The arena was built in 1904 and it burned down on October 31,1913 in a fire that also took the armory located next door.

The arena also briefly served as the meeting place of the first Legislative Assembly in Alberta in 1905, while construction of the Alberta Legislature Building took place from 1906 to 1913. After the fire, the arena would be replaced by the Edmonton Gardens.
