Widnes Vikings are a professional rugby league club based in Widnes (formerly part of Lancashire, now considered part of Cheshire. They play in the Super League.

The club colours are white and black, with a red trim.

Their traditional nickname is 'The Chemics' after the main industry in Widnes.

They have a strong rivalry with Warrington Wolves and resisted the idea of merger with their rivals.

Prior to Super League they were one of the stronger teams in British rugby league but have generally struggled since then.
