The Lewiston Twins were the final minor league baseball team based in Lewiston, Maine. Between 1891 and 1930, Lewiston teams played under various nicknames as long time members of the New England League (1891–1896, 1901, 1914–1915, 1919, 1926–1930) and also in the 1907 Maine State League and 1908 Atlantic Association, winning the 1919 league championship. Lewiston hosted home minor league games at A.A.A. Park from through 1919 and the Lewiston Athletic Park from 1926 to 1930.

Baseball Hall of Fame member Jesse Burkett managed the Lewiston Twins in 1928 and 1929.

On August 7, 1915, Lewiston pitchers Oscar Tuero and Otto Rettig threw back–to–back no-hitters in a double header against the Lowell Grays.
