The Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor is an exhibit located at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that commemorates baseball players, coaches, executives, and broadcasters who have made significant contributions to the Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball team and meet set criteria regarding career milestones or service time. The team was established in Seattle, Washington, as the Seattle Pilots in 1969,[2] and they became the Milwaukee Brewers after relocating to Wisconsin in 1970.[3] The franchise played in the American League (AL) until 1998 when it moved to the National League (NL) in conjunction with a major league realignment.[4]

Established by the Brewers in 2014, the initial Wall of Fame class consisted of 58 inductees. As of 2022, seventy-one individuals have been inducted. Each member is honored with a bronze plaque bearing their image and a summary of their Brewers career, which is affixed to an exterior wall by the Hot Corner entrance in left field.[5][6]
