The Kirsha Training Centre (Ukrainian: Спортивно-тренувальна база «Кірша») is the training facility of the Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk and its U-19 side, FC Shakhtar-3 Donetsk. Located in Donetsk, Ukraine, the training centre has been open since 1953. Since the centre's opening, upgrades have been made including a rehabilitation centre, gymnasium, canteen, consulting room, medical offices, and many other services.
Due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, the training center was damaged and Shakhtar recreated another training center near Kyiv as Sviatoshyn Training Center.
