The Mansfield Pioneers was a name used by a minor league baseball club, based in Mansfield, Ohio, and played periodically between 1887 and 1912. The team first began play in the Ohio State League in 1887 as simply Mansfield. The following season, the club moved to the Tri-State League until 1890. After a three-year hiatus, Mansfield once again fielded a new team, the Mansfield Electricians and played the 1893 season in the short-lived Ohio–Michigan League. No team was then fielded until 1897, when the city fielded the Mansfield Haymakers in the Interstate League.
In 1906 the city was represented in then Ohio–Pennsylvania League with the Mansfield Giants. The club changed its name to the Pioneers in 1907 until 1909. The team was once again renamed the Mansfield Reformers in 1910 and the Mansfield Brownies in 1911. In 1912 the club moved back to the Ohio State League for their final season.
