The Chico Rooks were an American soccer team, founded in 1993 by Guido Barbero and Dave Stahl. The team was a member of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, until 2006. Initially, the team's management announced that they would spend the 2007 NPSL season on hiatus while they re-organised and consolidated their finances; the Rooks never returned to active competition and the franchise was cancelled by the NPSL at the end of the 2007 season.

The Rooks were a stalwart of the United Soccer Leagues from their formation in 1993 until 2003, whereupon they were founder members of the Men's Premier Soccer League (now the National Premier Soccer League). For many years they held the distinction of being California's oldest professional soccer club.

The Rooks played their home matches at the University Stadium on the campus of California State University, Chico in the city of Chico, California. The team's colors were black and white.
