The Independence Champs were a Class-D minor league baseball team based in Independence, Kansas that played in the Oklahoma–Arkansas–Kansas League (OAK League) in 1907.

The team formed in 1906 as the Independence Coyotes, in the Kansas State League. They moved to the OAK League when the KSL folded after the 1906 season. The OAK League folded after the 1907 season, with Independence and fellow OAK League members Bartlesville and Muskogee moving to the new Oklahoma–Kansas League for the 1908 season.[2]

Multiple notable players spent time with the team, including Chick Brandom, Drummond Brown, Dick Crutcher, Danny Friend and Marc Hall.[3]
