The Batavia Muckdogs are a collegiate summer baseball team in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL). They are located in Batavia, a city in Genesee County, New York, United States. Their home field is Dwyer Stadium in the city of Batavia, built after the 1996 season to replace the original Dwyer Stadium (formerly State Street Park, MacArthur Stadium) that opened July 27, 1938 as home to the Batavia Bees, a semi-pro team in the Genesee County League.

Off and on from 1939 to 2020, they were members of Minor League Baseball's New York–Penn League (NYPL). With Major League Baseball's reorganization of the minor leagues after the 2020 season, Batavia and the New York-Penn League were eliminated from affiliated baseball. The Muckdogs later joined PGCBL for the 2021 season. Their 2022 season and the loss of professional baseball in Batavia was chronicled by author Will Bardenwerper in "Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America."
