The Terre Haute Terre-iers were a minor league baseball team based in Terre Haute, Indiana.
From 1910 to 1916, Terre Haute teams exclusively played as members of the Class B level Central League, following the 1900 through 1909 Terre Haute Hottentots, who began the tenure as members of the Central League. Following the Hottentots, Terre Haute played under four nicknames and had one winning Central League season, in 1915. The Terre Haute teams played in the Central League as the "Stags" in 1910, the "Miners' in 1911, the "Terre-iers" from 1912 to 1914 and the "Highlanders" in 1915 and 1916.
The Terre Haute "Terre-iers" nickname was a deliberate misspelling of "Terriers."
For their duration in the league, Terre Haute teams hosted Central League home minor league games at Athletic Park, the site of today's Indiana State University owned Memorial Stadium.
