The Junction City Soldiers were an American minor league baseball team founded in 1909 in the Central Kansas League.[1] After the 1912 season, the Central Kansas League was renamed the Kansas State League. The team cased operations in 1913.

Notable former players include Al Bashang and Jimmy Whelan.

There is a longstanding controversy regarding whether former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower played professional baseball for the Soldiers.
