This is a list of the seasons the Flames played in Atlanta. For season history after the team relocated, see List of Calgary Flames seasons.

The Atlanta Flames were a professional ice hockey team based in Atlanta, Georgia. They were members of the Patrick Division in the Campbell Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] Founded on November 9, 1971, as an expansion franchise, the Flames played their homes games at the Omni Coliseum from their inaugural season in 1972 to until their relocation in 1980. The 1979–80 NHL season marked the 8th and final year of operation for the franchise. At the end of the 1979–80 season, the Flames had won 268 regular season games, appeared in the playoffs 6 times, did not win any division or conference championships, and never advanced past the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.[2]

The Flames started play in the 1972–73 season along with the New York Islanders

This is a list of seasons completed by the Atlanta Flames of the National Hockey League. This list documents the records and playoff results for all eight seasons that the Atlanta Flames have completed in the NHL before their relocation to Calgary, Alberta in 1980. Atlanta would be left without an NHL franchise for 19 years. The Atlanta Thrashers were founded as an expansion team in 1999; however, the Thrashers would subsequently relocate to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2011, becoming the current incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets, again leaving Atlanta without an NHL franchise.
