The Cincinnati Rockers were an Arena Football League team that competed in the 1992 and 1993 seasons. They played their home games at the Riverfront Coliseum. The team color scheme incorporated bright yellow and green.

The Rockers finished their first season in the league with a surprising 7-3 record, but lost in the first round of the playoffs 41-36 to the Tampa Bay Storm.

The team would cease operations following a dreadful 2-10 season in 1993.

The city of Cincinnati played host to an af2 franchise, the Swarm, in 2003, and is currently home to the Cincinnati Marshalls of the NIFL.
