For other teams, see Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights, Omaha Knights (AHA), Omaha Knights (IHL), and Omaha Knights (1963–1965).

The Omaha Knights was a minor professional ice hockey team in Omaha, Nebraska. The franchise was founded in 1963 as the St. Paul Rangers and played for three seasons in Minnesota. After the NHL announced that it would place a new franchise in the region, the then-Minnesota Rangers moved to Omaha, taking up the same residence as several former professional teams. As a way to curry favor with the fanbase and honor the past, the team took on the moniker of the previous three franchises and was the fourth to bear the name 'Omaha Knights'. This squad was the most successful of the bunch, lasing for nine seasons and winning three league championships.
