The 1959 Milwaukee Braves season was the seventh season for the franchise in Milwaukee and its 84th season overall. The Braves ended the National League regular season in a first-place tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers. With both clubs finishing with records of 86–68, a special best-of-three tie-breaking series was played to decide the National League Championship for the World Series. The Braves lost this series to the Dodgers two games to none. That left the Braves record at 86–70, two games behind the Dodgers, who went on to win the 1959 World Series over the Chicago White Sox.
