The Strathroy Rockets are a junior ice hockey team based in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Western division of the Greater Ontario Hockey League.

In 1965, the Rockets joined the old Western Junior "B" league. When most of the league became the Western Junior A league in 1968, the Rockets were not invited. Instead, the team joined the Central "B" league for a year, before moving to the Western Junior B league in 1969, and ceased operations in 1972. The Falcons replaced the Rockets and moved to the Western Junior "D". The team became the Blades in 1975 rejoined the newly re-formed Western "B" league. In 1994, they once again became the Rockets and stayed in the Western "B" ever since.

The Rockets won the WOJHL title in 2006-07, defeating the Sarnia Blast in seven games. They were then defeated by the Cambridge WinterHawks in the Sutherland Cup final.

The Rockets were purchased by former NHL player Cory Conacher, and negotiated by Andrew Ferlatte. Cory appointed Andrew as the General Manager June 1st, 2024, Andrew became the first ever appointed General Manager of the Rockets in the modern era under private ownership.

The Strathroy Rockets unveiled a new, modern look December 13th 2025 in the GOHL's spotlight game against the Sarnia Legionnaires.
