The Quincy Gems were a collegiate summer league baseball team located in Quincy, Illinois.

The Gems were originally a part of the Central Illinois Collegiate League and joined the Prospect League with several other CICL teams prior to the 2009 season. The team's original owners, the Quincy Civic Center Authority, sold the Gems to its current owners in September 2014 for $120,000.[1]

On August 29, 2023, the team announced that they would not return for the 2024 season and will seek relocation [2]
