The Midwest Region is one of eight United States regions that currently send teams to the Little League World Series, the largest youth baseball competition in the world. The region's participation in the LLWS dates back to 1957, when it was known as the Central Region. However, when the LLWS was expanded in 2001 from eight teams (four U.S. teams and four "International" teams from the rest of the world) to 16 teams (eight U.S. and eight International), the Central Region was split into the Midwest and Great Lakes Regions.^[1]

The U.S. states that are in Little League's Midwest Region:

•  Iowa
•  Kansas
•  Minnesota
•  Missouri
•  Nebraska
•   North Dakota/ South Dakota (both states make up a single Little League district)
