The Portsmouth Cobblers were a minor league baseball team based in Portsmouth, Ohio. From 1908 to 1915, the Cobblers played exclusively as members of the Class D level Ohio State League, winning league championships in 1910, 1912, 1914 and 1915.
The Cobblers hosted home games at Millbrook Park and were immediately succeeded by the 1916 Portsmouth Truckers who won the Ohio State League championship.
The "Cobblers" nickname was in reference to the large shoe industry in Portsmouth in the era.
In 1913, Portsmouth hosted an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs.
Baseball Hall of Fame member Billy Southworth began his professional career with the 1912 and 1913 Cobblers.
