The Independence Coyotes were a minor league baseball team located in Independence, Kansas, for the 1906 baseball season.

The Coyotes went 69-48 and were champions of the Class D Kansas State League by 4.5 games over the second-place Cherryvale Boosters.[2] Ben Haas hit .341 to lead the league, while pitcher Chick Brandom paced the circuit with 16 wins and 121 strikeouts.

The Kansas State League folded after the season, and the Coyotes moved to the Oklahoma–Arkansas–Kansas League and became known as the Independence Champs.[1][2] Drummond Brown and Chick Brandom from the Coyotes would go on to play in the major leagues.[3][4] Brandom would end up winning the World Series with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1909.[5]
