List of Major League Baseball managers by wins

File:Connie Mack (1910 baseball card).jpg

Connie Mack baseball card, 1910. Connie Mack is the all-time leader in career wins and losses by a manager.

This article contains a list of all Major League Baseball managers with at least 1,000 career regular-season wins, as well as a list of managers who have regular season win percentages greater than .540. Both lists are current through the close of the 2015 Major League Baseball season.

Connie Mack, who managed the Philadelphia Athletics for 50 years, is the all-time leader in both wins and losses. Due to their length of service, seven of the top ten managers (in wins) also appear in the top ten in losses.

Bruce Bochy is the active wins leader with 1,702 managed wins. The active manager closest to surpassing 1,000 wins is Clint Hurdle, who has 965 wins and 1,004 losses for a .490 winning percentage. The only managers with 1,000 losses but not 1,000 wins are Hurdle and Phil Garner, who has a 985-1,054 record (.483).
