The Battle Creek Knights are a team in the International Basketball League, located in Battle Creek, Michigan.

The Knights lived up to their nickname of "The IBL's Power Team", by beating opponents by an average of 128-114. The Knights were led in scoring by Mike Williams, at 22.4 ppg. The Knights were undefeated in the regular season, and won the championship game, beating the Dayton Jets 124-121, for a final record of 21-0.

In addition to being the IBL's power team on the court, the Knights also led the league in attendance. Playing at Kellogg Arena, crowds of 2,500+ were not uncommon, and the team drew 1,854 to the championship and All-Star game, which they hosted. Three Knights made the all-star team; Bobby Madison, Jamal Gooding, and Mike Williams.

The Knights are coached by Greg Williams. According to a source from within the league, the team hopes to bring back 6-7 players from its 2005 championship team.
