The Wichita Wranglers are a minor league baseball team based in Wichita, Kansas. The team, which plays in the Texas League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals major-league club. The Wranglers play in Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, located in Wichita. Built in 1934 and renovated for the second time in 2001, the park seats 6,400 fans.

On July 29, 2006, management reportedly announced to players eventual plans to relocate the team to Springdale, Arkansas[1], as early as the 2008 season, according to Little Rock-area media including Arkansas Business. They will become the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.

The Wranglers formerly were the Double-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres until 1994.

Johnny Damon of the New York Yankees played for the Wichita Wranglers in 1995, where he was the Texas League Most Valuable Player.
