73 Best Spy Team/Group Names (Curated & Ranked) + Generator
When you think of spies, your mind probably conjures an image of a person in a suit using high-tech gear like cameras hidden in buttons and encrypted flash drives.[1]
However, espionage is one of the oldest tools of political and military systems, and spies are thought to have been in use for around 6,000 years![2]
Though their methods weren’t always as high-tech as today, spies have tended to use cutting-edge technology throughout history.
During the American Revolution spies used ciphers, language codes, invisible ink, and other tools to spread and collect information and crack cases.[3]
Spies live secretive and risky lives where they collect intelligence and sometimes stir up trouble. Spy team names should reflect the exciting but dangerous nature of an agent’s work.

How to Create a Good Spy Team Name
As we mentioned above the list, spy names should reflect the secrecy and risk of a spy’s work.
You can also use your team name to reflect the skill level involved; spies need a lot of training and stealth to do their work undetected.
Keep the following tips in mind when creating your spy team name:
- Use spy terminology. Words like “code,” “evade,” “mole,” “intelligence,” and “stealth” are obviously spy-related and can be great for your team name.
- Get inspiration from fiction. A lot of books, movies, and TV shows include fictional spy organizations. If you have a favorite, you can use or adapt its name for your team. Examples include A.P.O. from the TV series Alias and I.M.F. from the Mission: Impossible franchise. If you don’t want to use one of these names directly, you can choose a similar name and use its acronym. “I.M.F.” stands for “Impossible Missions Force,” for instance, so you could alter it to something like “Logical Missions Force.”
- Consider your activities. How will you be using your spy name? Are you creating spy teams for a classroom activity, building a team for work, or creating a spy fiction enthusiasts club? Make sure your name suits the activity and the age of your group.
