The 1930 Boston Red Sox season was the 30th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The team's home field was Fenway Park. The Red Sox finished last in the eight-team American League (AL) with a record of 52 wins and 102 losses, 50 games behind the Philadelphia Athletics, who went on to win the 1930 World Series.

The Red Sox played their Sunday home games at Braves Field this season, as had been the case since the team's 1929 season, due to Fenway being close to a house of worship. The team played a total of 20 home games at Braves Field during the 1930 season; 16 games on Sundays, plus two non-Sunday doubleheaders.[1]
