The Pine Bluff Judges were a minor league baseball team, based in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. They existed between 1930 and 1955 and were primarily an affiliate of the St. Louis Browns/Baltimore Orioles playing in the Cotton States League.

The team joined the Cotton States League in 1930 and promptly won the league championship that season. When the league folded after the 1932 season, so did the team. However, the Waco Cubs of the Dixie League moved to town the following season and took on the Judges name. They remained in the East Dixie League the following season and then joined the reformed Cotton States League in 1936.

The team was inactive between 1941 and 1947 during World War II but rejoined the league for the 1948 season. In 1955, they moved to Meridian, Mississippi and became the Meridian Millers.
