Minnesota Fillies were a pioneering women's professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They competed in the Women's Professional Basketball League (WBL) from 1978 to 1981, and were one of only three teams to participate in all of the league's three seasons. The Fillies most successful season was in 1979–80, achieving a 22–12 record and advancing to the semifinals in the playoffs before being eliminated by the Iowa Cornets.

  Women's Professional Basketball League (WBL) was the first female pro basketball league, paving the way for the establishment of future leagues such as the WNBA. The league was founded in 1978 and played three seasons until 1981. The WBL arrived on the scene when opportunities for female athletes were few and far between. The primary objective was to develop and provide a platform for women to showcase their athletic skills at a professional level. Despite early excitement, the financially challenged WBL suffered from limited media coverage and struggled to attain consistent attendance figures. Upon dissolution, 17 teams would participate in the WBL, whose pioneering efforts cemented their historic legacy in the early development of women's professional sports.
