The Fort Lauderdale Strikers were an American soccer team, a descendant of the Washington Darts , Miami Gatos , and Miami Toros , that played in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Strikers were members of the North American Soccer League from 1977 to its penultimate year, 1983. After the 1983 season, the Strikers were moved to Minnesota and became the Minnesota Strikers. That club survived the end of the NASL by joining the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1984, but did eventually fold in 1988.

In 1979 the Strikers signed Peruvian legend Teófilo Cubillas, who would play with the club until their departure for Minnesota in 1983.

After a six year hiatus, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers were revived in 1988, joining the newly-formed American Soccer League. In just their first season back, the Strikers stormed the ASL, finishing with a 14-6 record, best in the league, before falling to the Maryland Bays in the semifinals. In their second season the Strikers did almost as well, finishing the season with a 12-3-8-2 record, but emerged in the playoffs, eventually on to defeating the Boston Bolts to win the 1989 championship.

After that season the ASL merged with the Western Soccer Alliance to form the American Professional Soccer League. They would play five more years in that league.

The current coach of C.D. Chivas USA, Thomas Rongen, coached the team from 1989 to 1994.
