The Tigres de Chinandega (English: Chinandega Tigers) are a baseball club that competes in the Nicaragua Professional Baseball League (LPBN), representing the city of Chinandega. The team has won the league championship four times, in 2006, 2012, 2017, and most recently in 2018. Tigres play their home games at Estadio Efraín Tijerino, which seats 9,000 people.

The team has also won two championships while playing in the Nicaraguan amateur baseball league, the Germán Pomares Ordóñez First Division (Spanish: Campeonato Nacional de Béisbol Superior Germán Pomares Ordoñez), in 1971 and 1974.

Tigres won their second championship in 2013 and went on to participate in the 2013 Latin American Series held in Veracruz, where they finished as runners-up with 2 wins and 1 loss.
