Sanford Greyhounds were a professional minor league baseball team that played periodically from 1919 until 1960. Throughout its entire existence the team played in the then-Class D Florida State League and was a charter member of the league.

Originally the Sanford Celeryfeds, in honor of the city's dominant crop – celery,^[1] the team's name changed several times over the years. The team has been known also as the Sanford Lookouts, Seminole Seminoles, Sanford Giants and the Sanford Blues.^[2]

The 1939 Lookouts were recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time.^[3]
