The Bangor Lumberjacks were an independent minor league baseball team in the Northeast League. They were originally the Adirondack Lumberjacks and were operated out of Glens Falls, New York until the end of the 2002 season. In 2003, the Lumberjacks played in Orono at Mahaney Diamond and in 2004 they played at Bangor's Winkin Sports Complex.

The Lumberjacks moved to Bangor, Maine to start 2003 and made the playoffs in their second season there, but lost to the eventual league champion New Jersey Jackals in four games (the second time in three seasons that had occurred).

After the season, losing money, the Lumberjacks folded and Bangor was stripped of its membership in the Can-Am League. Most of the teams roster became The Grays, the second traveling team in the Northeast/CanAm League in two years. (The Grays' roster after a certain date became the roster for the expansion Sussex Skyhawks.)

The Adirondack Lumberjacks were one of the more successful teams in the NeL, winning three championships and a Northern League championship (2000).
