The 1936 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 4th playing of the mid-summer classic between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. The game was held on July 7, 1936, at Braves Field in Boston, Massachusetts, the home of the Boston Bees of the National League. The game resulted in the National League defeating the American League 4–3. It was the National League's first win in All-Star Game history.
Players in italics have since been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Joe DiMaggio becomes the first rookie to play in an All-Star Game; he is hitless in five-at-bats and makes an error in right field.
