The Logan Scorpions were an Australian rugby league football club from the suburb of Slacks Creek in Logan City, Queensland. Due to financial difficulties, the club ceased operation at the end of the 2002 Queensland Cup season, and merged with the Souths Magpies to form a new team, the Souths Logan Magpies.

History

The Scorpions made their debut in the third grade of the Brisbane Rugby League premiership (BRL) in 1987. After they made the grand final, which they lost to the Redcliffe Dolphins 18-4, it was decided to fully admit the club into first grade in 1988.

The Scorpions struggled from the beginning and never made the semi finals once in either the BRL 1st Grade or the Queensland Cup. Their most successful seasons were 1999 & 2000 in which the club finished 7th out of 12 teams. They made the Brisbane A Grade grand final in 2000 but lost the game 28-10 to the Easts Tigers.

Logan's fortunes declined in 2001 and 2002. In their final year they failed to win a single game in either the Queensland Cup or Brisbane A Grade. At the completion of that season the football and leagues clubs were wound up, and the Souths Logan Magpies were formed. Notable players include - Gary Obrien - Brian Hegarty - Brian Armstrong - Michael Devlin - Bernie Finch - Aaron Stewart - Billy Dart - Alan Hughes - Mal Hughes - Dougie Hughes - Paul Bartier - Glen Haggath - Sean Roberts -
