Paisley Lions were a motorcycle speedway team that participated in the British National League in 1975 and 1976.
The team was based at Love Street in Paisley, Scotland, home of St Mirren F.C..
The club's colours were red and gold with a Rampant Lion. The first meeting was held on the 5th April 1975 in front of a crowd of over six thousand people.
The team did not enjoy a great deal of success and, despite a brave effort by their supporters at the end of the 1976 season, the final meeting was held on 25 September 1976 when the Lions beat Boston 52-25.

Famous quotes containing the word lions:
“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, II, ch.3 (1985)
