The 1936 New York Yankees season was the team's 34th season. The team finished with a record of 102–51, winning their eighth pennant, finishing 19.5 games ahead of the Detroit Tigers. New York was managed by Joe McCarthy. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they defeated the New York Giants in 6 games. After a 20-year absence, the "NY" logo returned to the front of the home jerseys where it has remained ever since.

The 1936 NY Yankees are the only team in the modern era (since 1901) to have 5 players (Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Joe DiMaggio, and George Selkirk) with over 100+ RBIs in their regular lineup.
