The 1930 New York Yankees season was their 28th season. The team finished with a record of , finishing 16 games behind the Philadelphia Athletics. New York was managed by Bob Shawkey; the 1930 season was his only year managing the Yankees and his only season as a Major League manager. The team's owner (Jacob Ruppert) and general manager (Ed Barrow) were both future Hall of Famers. Yankees played their home games at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees set a team record by recording a .309 batting average during this season.
The Yankees fielded nine players who would eventually be enshrined in the Hall of Fame (Earle Combs, Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Waite Hoyt Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing, and Babe Ruth). This is the most all time, tied with the following year's team as well as the 1932 and 1933 Yankees teams. The same nine Hall of Famers played for the 1931, 1932, and 1933 teams, with the 1930 team differing only by not having Joe Sewell and instead featuring Waite Hoyt.
