The UConn Huskies baseball program is a college baseball team that represents the University of Connecticut in the Big East Conference. The Huskies compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I. The current head coach is Jim Penders, who has led the team since 2004.

The team has had nineteen head coaches since its first season of baseball in 1896. There was no team in 1918 due to World War I. Since its creation in 1947, the Huskies have made five appearances in the College World Series, two under J. Orlean Christian and three under Larry Panciera.

Panciera holds the highest winning percentage in Connecticut baseball history, with a .648 mark over his eighteen seasons. James Nicholas and Charles A. Reed both failed to win a game and share the mark for lowest winning percentage. Christian coached the longest, staying for 26 seasons, while nine coaches served only one season. Baylock delivered two Husky Big East Conference baseball tournament championships in 1990 and 1994, along with the only divisional championship (1985) of the seven seasons the Big East played in a two division format. Penders has won the only conference regular season championships in 2011, and at least a share each year of the reprised UConn membership beginning in 2021. Penders also delivered three more Big East Tournament titles, in 2013, 2021, and 2022.
