The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are a minor league baseball team in Rancho Cucamonga, California, USA. They are a "high-A" class team in the California League, and have been a farm team of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim since 2001, when they switched affiliations with the Lake Elsinore Storm. They were affliated with the San Diego Padres during the late 1990's.
The Quakes franchise has been in existence since 1966, when it played in Lodi, California. The team moved to San Bernardino in 1986 and became the Spirit; Ken Griffey, Jr. was among the players that came through Fiscalini Field on their way to the big leagues. In 1993, the Quakes moved to their current location. The Quakes won the California League championship in 1994.

Television actor Mark Harmon (St. Elsewhere, Navy NCIS) was one of the team's owners until he sold his interest in the team to local businessman, Scott Ostlund.
Joe Castellano was the team's first play-by-play announcer; he later moved on to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings, and now works for XM Satellite Radio on the MLB Home Plate channel.
