Rifle Sport was an American post punk band active in the 1980s and 1990s, from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The band took its name from an arcade in downtown Minneapolis which was open in the 1940s to 1960s. An unrelated art gallery, Rifle Sport Gallery, also named after the arcade and housed in its old space, established their name after the band.

The drummer and vocalist Todd Trainer later joined the Big Black songwriter Steve Albini's band, Shellac.
