The Saskatoon Legends were an independent minor league baseball team in the short-lived Canadian Baseball League. The team was based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and played home games at Cairns Field. Their only season of existence was 2003; the CBL folded midway through its first season of existence.

There were some notable members of the Legends. Among the young prospects, Iowa politician J. D. Scholten made his professional baseball debut with the Legends.[3] Older players also joined the team, including former Montreal Expos pitcher Floyd Youmans.[4] The team was managed by former MLB all-star Ron LeFlore.[5][6]

The team was largely a success on the field, however that success did not translate into success with attendance. The team challenged the Calgary Outlaws for the West Division title, right up until the all-star break which occurred at the end of the season. They finished the abbreviated season with a 22–15 record, good for second place in the West Division behind the Calgary Outlaws.[4]
