The Cape Fear Crocs were a minor league baseball team in Fayetteville, North Carolina. They were a low-A class team that played in the South Atlantic League, and were a farm team of the Montreal Expos for the franchise’s entire tenure as the Cape Fear Crocs. They played all of their home games at J. P. Riddle Stadium, which was home to the Fayetteville Generals, the previous franchise before Cape Fear.

Prior to the 2001 season, the Cape Fear Crocs were sold, moved north, and officially became the Lakewood BlueClaws .
