Indianapolis Braves were an American soccer team, the men's professional team of the Indianapolis-based soccer organization, FC Pride, which competed in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, for just one season, in 2007.

They played their home games at the Lawrence Soccer Complex in the city of Lawrence, Indiana, 12 miles (19 km) north-east of downtown Indianapolis.

Their playing squad included defender Eric Descombes, a current full international player for Mauritania who played in both of that country's 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying games against Zimbabwe in 2003, and former professionals John Swann and Moussa Dagnogo.
