The Manila Sharks are a baseball team in Baseball Philippines formed in 2007 as one of its charter members. Owned by Harbour Centre and assigned in the league's North Division, the Sharks are the current division champions after beating the Marikina Shoemakers in Series 2.

With four national team members on the lineup, the team's core is composed of players from the NU Bulldogs and the Adamson Falcons of the UAAP coached by Jhoel Palanog, Orlando Binarao, and managed by Richard Cruz.

Manila took home third place in the league's inaugural tournament despite finishing the short elimination round with a one-win, three loss slate. But, the Sharks bounced back in Series 2 as they posted an eight-win, two-loss mark for the league's best record before beating Marikina before losing a hard fought three-game series with the Cebu Dolphins in the championship.
