The Rochester Knighthawks (also known as the K-Hawks) are a professional box lacrosse team in the Eastern Conference of the National Lacrosse League.[1] They play in Rochester, New York, at the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.

The Knighthawks are owned by Terry Pegula who purchased the intellectual property of the team from former owner Curt Styres.[2] Styres moved the previous version of the team to Halifax, Nova Scotia as the Halifax Thunderbirds at the end of the 2018–2019 season. As an expansion team they are not a continuation of the previous Knighthawks.[3] All records and championships followed the original franchise to Halifax.
