The Wetherby Gymnasium is a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena at Morehead State University (MSU) in Morehead, Kentucky. It is named for former Kentucky Governor Lawrence Wetherby and was built in 1956.[1] The facility was slated for demolition in 2024.[2]

Wetherby Gymnasium was the home of MSU's Eagles volleyball teams until they moved to Ellis Johnson Arena in 2018.[3] Prior to the Ellis Johnson Arena opening in 1981,[4] it also hosted the MSU basketball team.[3]
