Seth Adam Greisinger (born July 29, 1975) is a former baseball pitcher for the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball. He played in Major League Baseball from 1998–2005.

Greisinger graduated from McLean High School in Virginia, then played his college ball at the University of Virginia.

He played for the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, and Atlanta Braves. Greisinger missed nearly 4 seasons from 1998 to 2002 with arm ligament injuries. He was a non-roster invitee to spring training with the Washington Nationals in 2005; he was sent to the Braves as part of a conditional deal. After being released by the Braves on June 7, 2005, Greisinger played for the Kia Tigers of the KBO in 2006, going 14–12 with a 3.09 ERA in 29 games.

Greisinger became the ace for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows in the Central League in Japan for the 2007 season, but Yakult's low budget led to them being forced to release both Greisinger and outfielder Alex Ramirez. Greisinger signed with the Yomiuri Giants for the 2008 season and led the Central League in wins with 17. In 2009, Greisinger went 13–6 with a 3.47 ERA, but missed time near the end of the season due to inflammation in his right (pitching) elbow. He did not pitch at all in the postseason and missed the 2009 Japan Series.
