The Indiana-Ohio League was a class D baseball league that operated briefly in 1908. The league was started on May 9, 1908 with four teams. Three of the teams were based in Indiana, with one in Ohio. National Association status was granted to the league by Minor League Baseball on June 3, 1908.

However a long series of financial losses by each club in the league, has caused it's disbandment. The Richmond Amusement Company, which owned the Richmond Quakers, reported loses in excess of a thousand dollars. The league folded June 8, 1908.[1]
