The Kentucky Retros was a professional basketball team based in Louisville, Kentucky^[1] that was scheduled to begin play in the American Basketball Association (ABA) in 2007.^[2] The team was originally located in Murray, Kentucky and named the Kentucky Colonels after the Louisville-based teams that had played in the ABA previously, but the name was changed in March 2007 in deference to the tradition of those teams.^[3]

The Retros folded sometime in the 2007-08 season.
