The Castleton Spartans are the athletic teams that represent the Castleton campus of Vermont State University. The Spartans compete in 28 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III intercollegiate sports.
From 1983 to 1986, Stan Van Gundy (later head coach of the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons) coached Men's Basketball at Castleton.
Castleton's men's soccer team were declared 1963 NAIA co-champions (along with Earlham College of Indiana) after the championship and consolation games at Frostburg State University in Maryland were cancelled due to snow.[11]

Beginning in 2025-26, the Spartans will join the Little East Conference for Ice Hockey, departing the NEHC.
