The Lowell Grays were a minor league baseball team based in Lowell, Massachusetts. From 1912 to 1915, the Lowell "Grays" played as members of the Class B level New England League, winning the 1913 league championship.

The Grays were named after their owner/manager Jim Gray. After the New England league folded following the 1915 season, Lowell played the 1916 season in the Eastern League. Lowell returned to the New England League, for the 1919, 1926, 1929, 1933 and 1947 seasons, with a single season in the 1934 Northeastern League. Lowell won league championships in 1913, 1919, 1933 and 1934.

The Lowell Grays teams were preceded in minor league play by Lowell Tigers who played from 1901 to 1911 in the New England League.

The Lowell teams hosted home minor league games at Spalding Field and Laurier Park.

Baseball Hall of Fame member Jesse Burkett managed Lowell teams in 1916 and 1933 and became the team's owner.

The 1996 Lowell Spinners resumed minor league play as members of the New York-Penn League.
