As Minor League Baseball (MiLB, do inglés: Ligas Menores de Béisbol) é unha xerarquía de ligas béisbol profesionais en América (con equipos nos Estados Unidos, o Canadá, México e a República Dominicana) que compiten a niveis inferiores á Major League Baseball ou Grandes Ligas (MLB). Estas competicións funcionan como cateogrías de canteira e formación de novos xogadores, aínda que están operadas todas como negocios independentes.

A maioría de ligas funcionan baixo unha organización coñecida como National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL), a cal opera baixo o mando co Comisionado do Béisbol. As outras ligas que non están baixo está organización reciben o nome de ligas independentes e non teñen ningunha ligazón coa MLB. Excepto a Liga Mexicana, os equipos das ligas menores adoitan estar relacionados con equipos da MLB, funcionando así como equipos de canteira ou "farm system". As competicións das ligas menores clasifícanse en diferentes clases en función do seu nivel, de maior a menor: Triple-A (AAA), Double-A (AA), High-A (A+), Single-A (A) e Rookie.
