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.

In 2006 the club signed their first non-EIHA players, Slovakian defenceman Ivan Turan and Canadian forward Todd Bakogeorge.
