The Bryant Bulldogs baseball team is the varsity intercollegiate baseball team of Bryant University, located in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The program has been a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) since the 2010 season. It plays at Conaty Park on the northern edge of Bryant's campus. Steve Owens has been the program's head coach since the 2011 season.

In Division I, Bryant has appeared in two NCAA Tournaments; it has won the NEC Tournament twice and the NEC regular season title four times. In Division II, it appeared in five NCAA Tournaments, including the 2004 College World Series; it won the Northeast-10 Tournament once and the NE-10 regular season title six times.

One former Bulldog, Keith MacWhorter, has gone on to play in Major League Baseball.

1969 was Bryant's first season of varsity NCAA baseball. Under head coach Bill Stein, the team went 5-14. In 1970, it improved to 11-8. For those first two seasons, Bryant competed in the College Division's Southern New England Conference (SNEC). For its first three seasons, Bryant was located in Providence; Stein coached the team in all three seasons before moving to Georgetown to become an assistant men's basketball coach under John Thompson. The school moved to its present-day Smithfield location ahead of the 1971–72 academic year.
