The Doosan Bears (Korean: 두산 베어스) are a professional baseball team based in Seoul, South Korea. They are a member of the KBO League.
The club was founded in Daejeon, South Korea in 1982 as the "OB Bears", with the Oriental Brewery as their owners, and moved to Seoul, South Korea in 1985 before being officially renamed the "Doosan Bears", after the brewery was sold to InBev, and the Doosan Group assuming ownership in 1999. The Bears won the Korean Series in 1982, the inaugural KBO League season. They have won five Korean Series titles (1982, 1995, 2001, 2015, and 2016) and play their home games at Seoul's Jamsil Baseball Stadium, sharing the stadium with their rivals, the LG Twins.

The Bears have retired numbers 21 and 54. The number 54 is in memory of the catcher Kim Young-shin who died, and the number 21 is the legendary pitcher, Park Chul-soon. Park won the Most Valuable Player award in the 1982 Korean Series. The next year he was injured but continued to play. He continued to play when injured throughout his career and had much success. His persistence in playing through injuries earned him the nickname "Phoenix (불사조)". He is to this day a highly respected figure in Korean baseball.
