The Butte Daredevils were a basketball team in the Continental Basketball Association that played from 2006 to 2008. They played their home games at the Butte Civic Center in Butte, Montana. The team was named in honor of Butte native Evel Knievel, the famous daredevil. The franchise hosted the 2007 CBA All-Star Game.
The team folded in August 2008 via a letter to the Montana Standard newspaper after months of speculation during which the teams offices were vacated and the office personnel rarely showed up to the Butte Civic Center. The franchise never appeared in a playoff series.
