The Topeka Golden Giants are a summer collegiate wood bat baseball team based in Topeka, Kansas, in the United States. The Golden Giants are a member of the Mid-Plains League. The Golden Giants were members of the M.I.N.K. League from 2005-2009 and the Walter Johnson League from 2012-2013.

Following the 2020 season, the Golden Giants were acquired by new ownership. With new leadership, the Golden Giants return for 2021 with a focus on entertainment and fan experience. The club selected historic Joe Campbell Stadium in Rossville, 15 minutes from downtown Topeka, as its new home. In addition to the historic wooden grandstand, fans may now spend summer nights in premium dugout seats, enjoy a beer at the right-field party deck, or follow along at home via the Golden Giant TV app.

More than 30 Golden Giants have been drafted by MLB organizations, including current White Sox Pitcher Evan Marshall. Former players are now coaching at every level from MiLB to junior college.
