The Ogden Raptors are a minor league baseball team in the Pioneer League based in Ogden, Utah. The club plays at Lindquist Field, whose view beyond the outfield fence was rated as the best in professional baseball^[1].

The Raptors are one of six farm teams of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets, first baseman Prince Fielder,shortstop J. J. Hardy and third baseman Bill Hall formerly played for the Raptors. Hall of Famer Frank Robinson played for the Ogden Reds, a previous Ogden franchise in the Pioneer League. Also, Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda managed the Ogden Dodgers to three consecutive Pioneer League titles from 1966-1968 and was present for the announcement that the Ogden franchise would again be an affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Raptors' inaugural 1994 season is chronicled in the book Minor Players, Major Dreams (1997, University of Nebraska Press) by author-in-uniform Brett Mandel.

Prior to Ogden, the Raptors' franchise played in Pocatello, Idaho; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Calgary, Alberta.
