The San Antonio Wings was a team that played in the World Football League for the 1975 season. San Antonio was the only city representing the WFL that did not have a team in 1974. The financially-troubled Florida Blazers were relocated to San Antonio, Texas including 16 former players of the Blazers.

Among the Florida Blazers players' that participated in the league's only World Bowl championship game to join the San Antonio Wings were running back Jim Strong, tight end Luther Palmer and linebacker Larry Grantham. Grantham retired as a player but joined the Wings coaching staff. The head coach was Perry Moss, who was a former head coach of Marshall and an National Football League assistant coach. Veteran NFL quarterback John Walton started for the Wings and led the WFL in passing, in 1975. The San Antonio Wings hosted their home games at Alamo Stadium, which seated 25,000. San Antonio won the WFL's Summer Title and finished overall with a 7-6 record (winning all seven games at home, but losing all six games on the road) before the World Football League folded on October 22, 1975.
