The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are a minor league baseball team in Rancho Cucamonga, California, USA. They are a Class A – Advanced team in the California League and a farm team of the Los Angeles Dodgers, their third major league affiliate as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

The Quakes franchise has been in existence since 1966 when it played in Lodi, California. The team moved to San Bernardino in 1986 and became the Spirit; Ken Griffey, Jr. was among the players that came through Fiscalini Field on their way to the big leagues.

In 1993, the franchise moved to their current location and was renamed the Quakes. The Quakes won their lone California League championship in 1994.

After being an affiliate of the San Diego Padres for the first eight years in Rancho Cucamonga, the team swapped affiliations with the Lake Elsinore Storm, beginning the 2001 season.

For the next ten seasons, the Quakes would be affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In 2010, the team advanced to the California League championship round, losing in extra-innings in the fifth and deciding game to the San Jose Giants. After the season, the Quakes once again changed affiliations, joining the Dodgers system.

The Quakes play their home games at LoanMart Field; opened in 1992 and previously known as the Epicenter, but the team's first game there was during their inaugural season in 1993. The park seats 5,508 fans. The mascot of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes is Tremor, the "Rallysaurus".

Television actor Mark Harmon (St. Elsewhere, NCIS) was one of the team's owners until he sold his interest in the team to local businessman, Scott Ostlund. The team is currently owned by an investment group headed by former Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer, George Brett and his brother Bobby Brett.

Joe Castellano was the team's first play-by-play announcer; he later moved on to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings, and now works for XM Satellite Radio on the MLB Home Plate channel.

In 2002 and again 2011, the Quakes made seasonal dedications to the Ontario Orioles/Ontario Blue Jays, the area's early minor league baseball team in 1941 and 1942.^{[citation needed]}
