The Dayton Wings was a minor league baseball club in Dayton, Ohio, beginning in the 1939 season.  

The Wings played in the Middle Atlantic League and were affiliates of the Chicago White Sox. They were renamed the Ducks before the 1941 season. The Ducks moniker was a reference to Ducky Holmes, the team's manager and club owner.
