The Massachusetts State Association was a minor league baseball league that played briefly in the 1884 season. The Non-Signatory, Independent level league consisted of franchises based exclusively in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts State Association was an eight–team league that permanently folded after playing a partial 1884 season.

League member Boston Reserves were owned and operated by the major league Boston Beaneaters and may have been the first true baseball farm team.
