Helfaer Field, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a Little League baseball field located next to American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Opening in 2002 and costing $3.1 million to construct, the field seats up to 722 people. Built near the infield of the former Milwaukee County Stadium (the previous home of the Brewers which was demolished in 2001), it retains the old foul poles from that field. The location of former home plate for Milwaukee County Stadium is located in marked batters boxes up from third base.{{cite web|url=http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewcrew0904.html|title=OnMilwaukee.com Sports: Helfaer Field keeps County Stadium memories alive|last=Hoffmann|first=Gregg|date=September 4, 2001|work=OnMilwaukee.com|accessdate=May 29, 2012}} Helfaer Field has dimensions of 200 feet to left, center, and right fields. The fences are six feet high.{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/mil/ballpark/brewersenterprises/downloads/HELFAERFIELD_2013Brochure.pdf|title=Helfaer Field|website=MLB.com|accessdate=January 13, 2014}}

The field is named for Evan Helfaer, a part-owner of the Brewers when they arrived in Milwaukee. A foundation in his name provided the funds to build the field.{{cite web |url=https://www.deadballbaseball.com/?tag=helfaer-field |title=Milwaukee County Stadium – Home Field To Three Different MLB Franchises |date=November 12, 2013 |website=Deadball Baseball |quote=The field is named in honor of Evan Helfaer, a part owner of the Brewers at the time of their arrival in Milwaukee.
