The Philadelphia Fox was a basketball team that played in the Women's Professional Basketball League (WBL), the first women's pro league in the United States.[1] Owned by Eric Kraus, it was added as an expansion team prior to the WBL's second season, with former NBA player Dave Wohl serving as head coach and general manager.[2][3]

Faced with financial difficulties from the beginning, the league revoked Kraus' ownership on December 1, 1979, and took over the team. Unable to finance the team, the WBL announced the shutdown of the team on December 21st, 1979.[4]
