The Latin American Series (Spanish: Serie Latinoamericana) was a one-time international baseball tournament held in Caracas, Venezuela in March 1952. Envisioned as an alternative to the Caribbean Series contested by national teams, its rosters were made up of professional baseball players, rather than the non-professional amateurs that played in Olympic-style competitions at the time (like the Amateur World Series).
The tournament saw the debut of the Estadio Universitario, which would go on to be the longtime home of the Leones del Caracas and Tiburones de La Guaira of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. The Dominican Republic's José St. Claire would be the first player to hit a home run in the stadium.
