The Lewiston Indians were a minor league baseball team in the western United States, based in Lewiston, Idaho. They played in the Pioneer League during the 1939 season, at the Class C level, and were not affiliated with any Major League Baseball (MLB) team. The team's home ballpark was Bengal Field.

History
The Indians were one of the six original teams of the Pioneer League when it was formed in 1939. The team was managed by Herb Sanders, who had pitched in the minor leagues for 12 seasons between 1923 and 1937, and helped to found the Pioneer League.  The Indians finished in last place and did not continue past 1939; Lewiston did not have another minor league team until 1952, the Lewiston Broncs.
