The Fort Myers Palms were a Minor League Baseball team of the Florida State League in 1926 founded by John Wall Hendry. They played their home games at Terry Park Ballfield in Fort Myers, Florida.
Due to lack of attendance and financial difficulties, the team played only one season. The community rallied in the middle of the one season to support the team, which allowed the team to finish the season. However, the team folded after the 1926 season.
The Palms finished the first half of the 1926 season in third place with a record of 34 wins and 25 losses and finished the second half of the season in fifth place with a record of 33 wins and 27 losses. In January 1927, the Fort Myers franchise was forfeited.
