Louis John Chirban (August 26, 1930 – December 5, 2008) was a Greek American professional baseball player. He was one of the first five white players to join the Negro American League. He was signed to the Chicago American Giants in 1950 by Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe with the support of the team’s owner, Dr. J. B. Martin, who was concerned about black players joining Major League teams.
