The Berlin Sluggers, officially named "Sluggers eV Berlin", is a baseball club founded on October 1, 1985 in Berlin, Germany, making it the oldest baseball club in Berlin. The first men's team played a few seasons in the first division of the German Baseball Bundesliga in the early nineties and was promoted again for the 2011 season. However, though the team qualified to advance to the first division in 2006, it was unable to do so due to financial constraints.

The Sluggers play their home games at Paul Rusch Stadium in the Buckow neighborhood of Berlin. It is the only baseball-only field in Berlin. Max Kepler-Rozycki, who signed with the Minnesota Twins in 2009 for a signing bonus of $750,000, the standing record for a European player, is a former Slugger.
