The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is an entity established by Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds franchise that pays homage to the team's past through displays, photographs and multimedia.

Currently, the Hall of Fame section is home to 71 inductees, which includes players, managers, announcers, executives, and other contributors to the Reds legacy, which dates back to 1869, the year the Reds were founded. They are Major League Baseball's oldest team. The induction class of 2006 are former pitchers Tom Browning and Tom Seaver and first baseman Lee May.

The Hall of Fame existed only in theory from 1958 to 2002 despite several attempts to create one. However, with the opening of Great American Ball Park in 2003, a physical facility became reality. It's located on the west side of the park on Main Street and comprises two floors.
