The Swindon Wildcats are a professional ice hockey team based in Swindon, Wiltshire, England. They are member of the English Premier Ice Hockey League (EPIHL). Since their inception, the Wildcats have played their home games at the 2800 capacity Link Centre in West Swindon. The club was founded in 1986, as the Swindon Wildcats, shortly after the opening of the Link Centre.

Following the culmination of the 2016–17 season, the Swindon Wildcats announced their intention to join the National Ice Hockey League.

The Wildcats' logo is an animated wildcat in the team colours of red and white.

The jerseys currently worn by the Swindon Wildcats are in red and white, the colours sported by the team since the 2008–2009 relaunch. They have worn the same jerseys (with a few small variations) since the 2008–2009 season.

The first Wildcats colours were black, yellow, orange and white. Blue and white were worn in 2006 and 2007.

The official mascot for the Swindon Wildcats is an anthropomorphized wildcat by the name of Willie. He has been the mascot for the 'Cats since their return to the Wildcats name in 2004, after three seasons as the Lynx. He wears a Wildcats jersey with the number 00.
