The Rochester Knighthawks (also known as the K-Hawks) are an American professional box lacrosse team based in Rochester, New York, that competes in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The team plays its home games at Blue Cross Arena.

The Knighthawks are owned by the Seneca Nation of New York, via their subsidiary Seneca Holdings, LLC. They took over in 2025 from previous owner Terry Pegula, who had purchased the intellectual property of the original Knighthawks in 2019.

The new Knighthawks franchise was created to replace the original team, which owner Curt Styres moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, as the Halifax Thunderbirds at the end of the 2018–2019 season. All records and championships followed the original franchise to Halifax, and the new team uses different colors, mascot, and logo.
