The 1932 New York Giants season was the 50th for the franchise. The team finished in a tie for sixth place in the National League with a 72–82 record, 18 games behind the Chicago Cubs.

Although the Giants did not contend for the National League pennant, 1932 was still a significant season in the future of the franchise. Firstly, midway through the season, longtime manager John McGraw stepped down, and he named hard-hitting star first baseman Bill Terry as his successor. Secondly, converted outfielder and future Hall of Famer Freddie Lindstrom was in his final season with the Giants before a trade to the Pirates prior to the 1933 season. Finally, this was the first season in which the Giants featured numbers on the uniforms.
