Surulere is a residential and commercial area, and a Local Government Area located on the Lagos mainland in Lagos State, Nigeria, with an area of 23 km2. It is part of Metropolitan Lagos. At the last census in the year 2006, there were 502,865 inhabitants, with a population density of 21,864 inhabitants per square kilometer.

The Lagos National Stadium (capacity 60,000) was built here in 1972 for the All-Africa Games. The stadium has been allowed to become increasingly dilapidated since 2002.

However, in preparation for the 2009 Under 17 FIFA World Cup the facilities were improved, and the event kicked off successfully in October 2009.

Surulere is a location of Nollywood movie production.

Surulere was home to the monthly magazines "Newbreed" and "President" founded by Chief Chris Okolie in the late 1970s until they ceased publication in the early 90s.
