The 1970 Cincinnati Reds season was the 101st season for the franchise in Major League Baseball. The Reds won the National League West title with a record of 102 wins and 60 losses, 14+1⁄2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Reds defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in three straight games in the NLCS to win their first National League pennant since 1961. The team then lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series in five games.
The Reds were managed by first-year manager George "Sparky" Anderson and played their home games at Crosley Field during the first part of the year, before moving into the then-new Riverfront Stadium on June 30.
