Louis Robert Perini (November 29, 1903 in Ashland, Massachusetts – April 16, 1972 in West Palm Beach, Florida)[1][2] was the principal owner of the Boston / Milwaukee Braves of the National League from 1945 through 1962.

Performance of the club then tailed off, accompanied by poor attendance and revenue.

The Braves won two NL pennants in Milwaukee, in 1957 and 1958, and played the New York Yankees in the World Series twice, winning the first.

They also tied for a third straight league title in 1959, but fell in the playoff series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Perini retained a 10% interest in the club and sat on the board of directors for a number of years.
