The Roosevelt Lakers are the athletic teams that represent Roosevelt University, located in Chicago, Illinois, in NCAA Division II intercollegiate sports. As of the 2024–25 school year, Roosevelt are transitionary NCAA members as they move athletic teams from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics to Division II.[2]

The Lakers are members of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) for 15 of 17 sports. The other two programs, men's volleyball and women's bowling, are currently independents (the former will join the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 2025).

The Lakers previously competed in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) between 2010 (when the school revived its athletics program and joined the NAIA) and 23.
