The Chicago Cubs' 1935 season was the 60th season for the Chicago Cubs franchise. The season saw the Cubs finish with 100 wins for the first time in 25 years (they have not won 100 games since.) The Cubs won their 14th National League pennant in team history and faced the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, but lost in six games.

The 1935 season is largely remembered for the Cubs' 21-game winning streak. The streak began on September 4th with the Cubs 2.5 games out of first place. They would not lose again until September 28th. The streak propelled the Cubs to the National League pennant. The 21 game winning streak tied the franchise and major league record set in 1880 when they were known as the Chicago White Stockings.

Regular season

Gabby Hartnett was the first National League catcher to win the MVP Award.
