The 2005 Minnesota Lynx season was the 7th season for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association, and the third season under head coach Suzie McConnell Serio.
The season tipped-off on Sunday, May 22, 2005, in Houston against the Houston Comets. The Lynx missed the playoffs for the first time since 2002. It also marked the final season for original franchise superstar Katie Smith, as she was traded to the Detroit Shock during the season.
