Sparta Rotterdam was a professional baseball team that played in Honkbal Hoofdklasse, the top professional baseball league in the Netherlands. Originally the baseball section of Dutch association football club Sparta Rotterdam, the club merged with Feyenoord's baseball section to form HSV Sparta-Feyenoord in 1997. Like the football club, the team's colors were red and white.

The club was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s, winning 9 Dutch national championships, including the first two Holland Series. Facing significant debts and relegation from the Hoofdklasse after the 2012 season, the club folded.
