The Japan Samurai Bears are a defunct traveling professional baseball team that played in the independent Golden Baseball League, which is not affiliated with either Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. They were based in the Arizona Division. The team, which existed for one season only, 2005, played all of its games on the road in order to keep an even number of teams in the league.

The manager of the team was Warren Cromartie (aka "Cro"), an American who had played for a number of years in the Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball league. The team was almost entirely made of players from Japan, but did include some US-born players of Japanese descent to fill out the roster.
