The Blue Ridge Rifles, established in 1950, is a military precision drill team within the ROTC program at the University of North Georgia. It is not directly affiliated with the Blue Ridge Rifles that existed as a military unit of the Confederate States Army during the Civil War, but drew its name in memory of that unit that stood up from the local area.

Today, the Blue Ridge Rifles perform year-round for the University of North Georgia at events, high schools, parades, sporting events, as well as 21-gun salutes and flag folding for military and police funerals. The team also regularly competes in intercollegiate drill meets across the United States.
