The Columbus Landsharks were a member of the National Lacrosse League from 2001 until 2003. They were based in Columbus, Ohio. After the 2003 season, the franchise moved to Phoenix, Arizona, becoming the Arizona Sting. This move was based on poor attendance.

The final active Landshark in the NLL was Dan Dawson, who they drafted in 2001 in the 6th round, 68th overall. He retired on June 12, 2023.
