The Stony Brook Seawolves are the athletic teams of Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York, United States. The school is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and participates in the America East Conference for all sports except football, in which they participate as an associate member of the Colonial Athletic Association, and men's tennis, in which they compete as a single-sport member of the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Seawolves currently field twenty varsity sports, including men's football and baseball, women's softball, as well as basketball, cross-country, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball in both men's and women's categories.
The university began in 1957 at Oyster Bay, with the team then known as the Soundmen or Baymen. The campus moved to its present location in 1962, and from 1960 to 1966, the programs competed as the Warriors. Beginning in 1966, the Stony Brook athletic teams were known as the Stony Brook Patriots. In 1994, as Stony Brook anticipated a rise to Division I in the NCAA, the nickname of the team was changed to its present one today, the Seawolves. The Seawolf was said to be a mythical creature from the Tlingit tribe which brought good luck to those able to see it.
The Stony Brook Seawolves mascot is known as "Wolfie" and has accompanied Stony Brook events since the new team nicknamed was introduced in the 1994 season, the inaugural season of Stony Brook as a Division-I school.
