Sanford Greyhounds were a professional minor league baseball team that played periodically from 1919 until 1960. Throughout its entire existence the team played in the then-Class D Florida State League and was a charter member of the league.

Originally the Sanford Celeryfeds, in honor of the city's dominant crop – celery, the team's name changed several times over the years. The team has been known also as the Sanford Lookouts, Sanford Seminoles, Sanford Giants, Sanford Seminole BLues, Seminole Cardinals and the Sanford Greyhounds.

The 1939 Lookouts were recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time.
