The Warlocks Motorcycle Club is the name used by a number of motorcycle clubs in the United States and other countries. The two most notable clubs which use the name were both founded in 1967, one in Florida and one in Pennsylvania.

The Florida Warlocks MC, or Warlock Nation, is a "one-percenter" motorcycle gang with chapters in various parts of the United States, England and Germany. The club was established by Tom "Grub" Freeland, an ex-US Navy sailor, on the outskirts of Orlando, Florida in 1967 and the Mother Chapter is still based there. They have over nine chapters in Florida, five in South Carolina, three in Virginia, two in West Virginia, one in New York, two in Lincolnshire, England and one in Germany. There are also several Nomads who live and work in states that don't have Warlocks chapters. The club's insignia is a Phoenix sandwiched between the top and bottom rockers, and their colors are black, red and yellow. Their mottos include "To find us... you must be good, to catch us... you must be fast, to beat us... you must be kidding" and "Warlocks forever, forever Warlocks" ("W.F.F.W.").

The Warlocks were investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 1991, after Steve Martin, an undercover agent, infiltrated the club, and several members were arrested and convicted of drug trafficking, gun running, murder and a number of other charges. Again, in 2003 the ATF investigated the Warlocks, and convicted several members of drug and weapon charges once more.

There is one non-affiliated Warlocks club in central Johannesburg in South Africa. It is essentially a split from the Satan's Saints (which was a split from the Hells Angels some years ago).

The Pennsylvania Warlocks MC is "one-percenter" motorcycle gang that was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1967. It was the first official outlaw motorcycle club founded in Pennsylvania. and there are now chapters throughout the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Ohio areas. They bear "colors" that are unique to the other Warlocks organizations and are the first of the known Warlocks to possess the 1%er diamond patch, worn on their "colors" over their hearts.

The club's insignia is a Harpy, a legendary winged creature in Greek mythology, and their colors are red and white. The club expanded rapidly at the end of the Vietnam War when thousands of ex-soldiers returned to the United States, many to Pennsylvania, feeling outcast from society. Members of the club must be White males.
