St. Louis Lions was an American soccer team based in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Founded in 2006, the team played in USL League Two, the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid.

The team played its home games at the Tony Glavin Soccer Complex in Cottleville, Missouri, since 2006. The team's colors were green and white.

In 2011 the Lions became a partner with Celtic Football Club,[2] which sent coaches from its Youth Academy to help Lions’ players and coaches. Some Lions players and coaches traveled to Glasgow to observe and take part in the Academy.[3]
