The St. Edward's Hilltoppers are the athletic teams that represent St. Edward's University, located in Austin, Texas, in NCAA Division II intercollegiate sporting competitions. Generally, both men's and women's teams are referred to as the Hilltoppers, and the mascot is a mountain goat named "Topper the Goat". Throughout the program's history, the Hilltoppers have been members of four athletic conferences and currently compete as members of the Lone Star Conference for all twelve active NCAA varsity sports teams and two active non-NCAA co-ed teams. There are also five sports teams that are no longer active - football, men's and women's golf, and men's and women's tennis.
Prior to being referred to as the Hilltoppers, the teams of St. Edward's university were at various times nicknamed as the Saints, Tigers, and Crusaders before rebranding as the Hilltoppers after World War II.
