The Gwinnett Braves are a professional minor league baseball team based in unincorporated Gwinnett County, Georgia (though their mailing address says Lawrenceville) within the Atlanta metropolitan area. The team plays in the South Division of the International League and they are the Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball club. They are based 31 miles northeast of Atlanta, the second-shortest distance between a Triple-A team and its major-league parent (behind only the Pacific Coast League's Tacoma Rainiers, based 26 miles south of Seattle).

The team was previously known as the Richmond Braves for 43 seasons (1966–2008). On January 14, 2008, it was announced that the Richmond Braves would move from Richmond, Virginia to suburban Atlanta in 2009. The announcement was made after the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners unanimous vote.

The move to Gwinnett County marked a return home of sorts for the Braves, as the team began life as the Atlanta Crackers in 1901. They became the top affiliate of the then-Milwaukee Braves in 1965. When the Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966, they moved the Crackers to Richmond, where the minor-league franchise took the name of the parent club. The current season, the 2015 season, is the 51st season of the affiliation between the Richmond/Gwinnett Braves and its major league parent, the longest-running affiliation in Triple-A.

The ballpark, Coolray Field has a total capacity of 10,000.

The official colors of the Gwinnett Braves are navy blue and scarlet, the same as their Atlanta parent. The primary logo resembles the Atlanta Braves primary, but with silver outline and with the word "Gwinnett" centered above.
