The Ssangbangwool Raiders (Korean: 쌍방울 레이더스) were a South Korean professional baseball team founded in 1990 and dissolved upon bankruptcy of the team's owner after the 1999 season. They were based in the North Jeolla Province and were members of the Korea Baseball Organization. They made the playoffs twice in their nine-year KBO history, losing both times, never making it to the Korean Series.
The two most notable players who spent considerable time with the Raiders were designated hitter Kim Ki-tai, who won a home run title in 1994 and a batting title in 1997 (as well as being a three-time KBO League Golden Glove Award winner with the Raiders), and Park Kyung-oan, considered by many to be one of the best catchers in Korean baseball history.
