The Springfield-Ozark Mountain Ducks was an unaffiliated minor league team that previously played in Ozark, Missouri, a suburb of Springfield.

The team played in Price Cutter Park, now known as Ozark Mountain Sports Complex.

Cremer says the kid-friendly name was derived from a combination of the Ozark Mountains and the Ride the Ducks boat ride in Branson[3] The Mountain Ducks played their inaugural game on May 27, 1999 on the road, a 7-4 loss to the Amarillo Dillas.

The Mountain Ducks rights to the club's spot in the CBL were sold in 2004 to the Pensacola Pelicans[6] of the discontinued Southeastern League.

The franchise's time in Ozark ended for good after only one season in the Frontier League once hotel magnate John Q. Hammons purchased the rights to the Double-A Texas League's El Paso Diablos, renamed them the Cardinals and moved them to downtown Springfield.
