The Trenton Giants were a minor league baseball team, based in Trenton, New Jersey that played under several different names from 1936–1950. The team began when the York White Roses moved to Trenton on July 2, 1936 and became the Trenton Senators.

During their existence they were affiliates with the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Phillies, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants. Baseball Hall of Fame member Willie Mays made his minor league baseball debut with the Giants on June 24, 1950 in a game against the Hagerstown Braves in Hagerstown, Maryland.
