The Oshkosh Indians were a minor league baseball team based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, playing between 1891 and 1914.
In 1886 and 1887, the "Indians" were preceded in minor league play by the "Oshkosh" team of the Northwestern League, who won the 1887 league championship.
The Oshkosh "Indians" first played under the nickname as members of the 1891 Wisconsin State League, followed by memberships in the Wisconsin-Michigan League (1892) and Wisconsin State League (1902, 1905–1908). The Indians continued play from 1909 to 1914 in the Class C level Wisconsin-Illinois League after the Wisconsin State League changed names. The Indians won three consecutive Wisconsin-Illinois League championships from 1912 to 1914. The Indians ceased play when the Wisconsin-Illinois League permanently folded following their championship season in 1914.
Oshkosh had two Baseball Hall of Fame members serve as managers. Frank Selee managed the 1887 Oshkosh team to the league championship and Kid Nichols was a player/manager for the Indians in 1908 in his final professional season as a player.
The Oshkosh teams hosted minor league home games at the Jackson Street Grounds through 1902 and the New White City Park from 1905 to 1914.
