The 2010 Kansas State Wildcats baseball team represents Kansas State University in the NCAA Division I college baseball season of 2010. It is the 110th baseball season in school history.

The team's head coach is Brad Hill who is in his seventh season at Kansas State. He was previously the head coach at Central Missouri State before coming to Manhattan in 2004.

Sophomore outfielder Nick Martini was named the league's co-Player of the Year, the first time a Wildcat had received the honor since Craig Wilson in 1992. It was K-State's third specialty award in the past two years after A.J. Morris was named Pitcher of the Year and Brad Hill as Coach of the Year in 2009. Martini shared the Player of the Year award with Missouri's Aaron Seene.

Martini was one of three Wildcats to earn first-team All-Big 12 honors as he was joined on the squad by senior third baseman Adam Muenster and junior shortstop Carter Jurica. It was the most first-team members for Kansas State since the Wildcats placed three on the All-Big Eight team in 1995

Sophomore pitcher Evan Marshall was named to the second team. He has been stellar for the Wildcats since making a switch from starter to reliever midway through the season. Marshall is 5–3 with a 3.76 ERA this season, but holds a 1.82 ERA in 17 relief appearances since moving to the bullpen. In 3423 innings as a relief pitcher, Marshall is limiting opponents to a .165 batting average, including a .162 mark in Big 12 play.

Senior catcher Daniel Dellasega and sophomore pitcher Kyle Hunter were named honorable mention All-Big 12. Coupled with the seven All-Big 12 honorees last season, the 13 Wildcats to earn All-Big 12 honors over the last two seasons are the most in a two-year span since 2001–02.

The following members of the 2010 Kansas State Wildcats baseball team were drafted in the 2010 MLB Draft.
