The Macon Steel was a professional indoor football team based in Macon, Georgia. The team played the 2012 season as a member of American Indoor Football. The Steel played its home games at the Macon Coliseum.

The Macon Steel folded on May the 6th of 2012 due to financial difficulties. At that time, head coach Ervin Bryson announced he was going to form a new American Indoor Football team for Macon Georgia called the Macon Iron who were to start play in 2013, but this team never came to fruition.

The Steel was the second arena/indoor football team to be based in Macon, following the af2's Macon Knights which played from 2001 until 2006.[1][2]
