The 1933 New York Yankees season was the team's 31st season. The team finished with a record of 91–59–2 (.607), finishing 7 games behind the Washington Senators. New York was managed by Joe McCarthy; this was his third season with the team. The Yankees played their home games at Yankee Stadium.

For the fourth straight season, the Yankees fielded nine players who would eventually be enshrined in the Hall of Fame (Earle Combs, Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing, Babe Ruth, and Joe Sewell). This is the most all time, tied with the previous year's team as well as the 1930 and 1931 Yankees teams.[1] 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.[1]
