The Northern Territory Academy, nicknamed NT Thunder, is an Australian rules football development team based in the Northern Territory (NT).[1][2]

NT Thunder currently fields teams in the under-19s Talent League Boys and Talent League Girls competitions, playing a handful of games each season without being eligible for the premiership.[3][4]

A senior NT Thunder club previously existed from 2008 until 2019, competing in the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL), North East Australian Football League (NEAFL) and VFL Women's (VFLW).[5]
