The Perth Black Hawks were an ice hockey team in Perth, Scotland. They played out of the Central Scotland Ice Rink.

The Black Hawks were formed in 1937 as the second team in the city, the Perth Panthers having debuted a year earlier. They joined the Scottish National League for the 1937-38 season.

In a remarkable season, the Black Hawks finished second in the National League to the Panthers, lost in the final of the Mitchell Trophy to the Glasgow Lions, and defeated the Glasgow Mohawks 4-1 on aggregate to claim the President's Pucks.

Despite a successful debut season, the club did not return for 1938-39. With the Scottish National League expanding to Dundee, Falkirk, and Kirkcaldy the following year, having two teams in Perth was deemed unfeasible.
