The Red Deer Rebels are a Western Hockey League junior ice hockey team based in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. They play their home games at the ENMAX Centrium. The Rebels had the first overall pick in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft, choosing Burnaby, British Columbia native Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

The Rebels were a very successful team in the early 2000s winning three consecutive division and conference titles between 2000–01 and 2002–03. This period began with a WHL and Memorial Cup championship in 2001 when Doug Lynch scored the overtime winner against the Val-d'Or Foreurs. The Rebels were unable to duplicate this feat, however, falling in the league championship series the next two seasons.

President, and owner Brent Sutter was also highly successful while serving as Team Canada's coach at both the 2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. His older brother, Brian has taken over the reins of the team for the upcoming season. Jesse Wallin was named as the new head coach on March 24, 2008.
