The Indianapolis Greyhounds are the college football team that represents the University of Indianapolis (UIndy). The team plays its home games at Key Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference in NCAA Division II.

The university was known as Indiana Central from its founding in 1902 until the adoption of its current name in 1986. The Greyhound nickname for athletic teams dates from 1926.[2] The original school colors, cardinal and grey, predated the athletic program, and eventually gave way to crimson and grey. The current "flying I" helmet logo dates from 2007, and has since been adopted as the general UIndy athletics logo. In 2011 Greyhound football adopted black (rather than crimson) as the primary dark jersey color, and most other UIndy teams soon followed suit. Black helmets followed in 2024, replacing the silver helmet that had been traditional since 1961.
