The Thomas Night Hawks are the athletic teams that represent Thomas University, located in Thomasville, Georgia, in intercollegiate sports as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC).

In the 2013–14 season, basketball returned to Thomas after a 13-year hiatus. In the inaugural game, the Nighthawks men were victorious over visiting Florida National University by a score of 82–71.[1] In 2014, the school added a competitive dance team.[2] In 2022, football was added.[3]

On July 1, 2022, Thomas announced that they would leave the Sun Conference to join the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC), starting in the 2023–24 academic year.[4]
