The Colorado Mammoth are a lacrosse team based in Colorado playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2005 season was the 19th in franchise history and 3rd as the Mammoth (previously the Washington Power, Pittsburgh Crossefire, and Baltimore Thunder).

The 2005 season was lacrosse legend Gary Gait's final season as a player. He led the Mammoth to an 8-8 record, 3rd in the Western division, but they were eliminated from the playoffs by the Arizona Sting in the division finals. Gait would take over as the Mammoth's head coach the next season.
