The University of Hawaiʻi Warriors, University of Hawaiʻi Rainbow Warriors, or University of Hawaiʻi Rainbows are the team names of the men's sports programs at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Prior to the year 2000, the University of Hawaiʻi's mens teams were all referred to as the Rainbow Warriors, complemented by an athletics logo featuring a rainbow. However, in response to complaints regarding the name and the logo from the football team, the school changed its athletics logo to a stylized "H" and allowed each team to pick its own team name. This has led to the current situation, where one team has retained the team name of "Rainbows," three teams have adopted the name "Rainbow Warriors," and three teams have adopted the name "Warriors."
