The Toronto Roadrunners were an ice hockey team in the American Hockey League. They played in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Ricoh Coliseum. Poor attendance and a dispute with building officials resulted in the relocation of the franchise to Edmonton after only one season. Another factor was the desire of the parent club to have the team play in Edmonton to fill the void expected as an NHL lockout the following season seemed more and more likely.

In their only season the Roadrunners featured players such as Jani Rita, Jamie Wright and Steve Valiquette who helped them advance to the AHL playoffs where they lost the first round to the Cleveland Barons.
The franchise became known as:
- Edmonton Road Runners (2004-2005)
The franchise was replaced by:
