Sheffield Scimitars were a semi-professional English ice hockey team, formed originally in 1986 as an Under 21 side. They initially played at the small 500 capacity Sheffield Ice Sports Centre, and became a senior side in the 1990s, playing in the ENIHL. Since then the team moved to the iceSheffield complex, where they became successful in the ENIHL and made the step-up to the EPL in 2005–06.

In July 2010, the team ceased operations, and was replaced by the Sheffield Steeldogs, who took over the Scimitars spot in the EPL.
