The Atlanta Beat was a professional soccer team that played in the Women's United Soccer Association. The team played at Bobby Dodd Stadium on the campus of Georgia Tech in their first year of operation, before moving to Herndon Stadium, on the campus of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia.

The team began play in 2001, and reached the playoffs in each of the WUSA's three seasons — the only team in the league to do so. They advanced to the Founder's Cup in both 2001 and 2003, losing on both occasions.

The league announced on September 15, 2003 that it was suspending operations.
