The Milton Keynes Thunder are an ice hockey team from Milton Keynes, England and are the second team in the city behind Milton Keynes Lightning. They currently play in the amateur English National Ice Hockey League (ENIHL) Southern A league. The team is committed to youth development with many players coming from the Milton Keynes junior ice hockey system.

Many players developed by the team have gone on to play in the English Premier Ice Hockey League and the Elite Ice Hockey League with former defenceman Leigh Jamieson going on to earn a place in the Great Britain national team. In 2006 the club signed their first non-EIHA players, Slovakian defenceman Ivan Turan and Canadian forward Todd Bakogeorge. Turan remained with the team for the 2007–8 season and was joined at the club by Slovakian forward Pavol Hudak who previously played in Slovak Extraliga with HKm Zvolen. Thunder are coached by Michael Knights who comes with experience of playing in the top British leagues with Durham Wasps, Basingstoke Bison and Coventry Blaze.
