The Columbus RedStixx was a minor league baseball team in Columbus, Georgia. They were a Class A team in the South Atlantic League, and a farm team of the Cleveland Indians.

The RedStixx played home games at Golden Park, except during 1996. The team's home games were moved to Ragsdale Field on the campus of Columbus State University, while Golden Park was renovated to accommodate softball events for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The name "RedStixx" refers to the Red Sticks, a faction of Creek Indians of the area.

In 1991, the South Atlantic League expanded, adding two teams, including one in Columbus.{{cn|date=June 2025}} The team carried the nickname of the parent club, the Cleveland Indians, during its inaugural year.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/ledger-enquirer-columbus-indians-to-be-r/173715934/|title=Columbus Indians to be Redstixx|first=L.
