The Iola Cubs were a Kansas–Oklahoma–Missouri League minor league baseball team based in Iola, Kansas, USA, that played in 1946 and 1947. The team, which was the first professional baseball squad from Iola since the Iola Champs played in 1908, was affiliated with the Chicago Cubs.[1] Managed by Al Reitz both years, the team finished second and third in the standings in 1946 and 1947, respectively, and reached the league finals both seasons. The team was replaced by the Iola Indians in 1948.[2]

Home games were played at Riverside Municipal Ballpark.[3]
