World Series er mesterskabsfinalen i baseballigaen Major League Baseball (MLB). Den spilles mellem mestre fra American League og National League, som er MLB's to ligaer.

Finalen afgøres bedst af syv kampe, og det hold, der først vinder fire kampe, bliver World Series Champions. World Series betegner således selve finaleserien og ikke hele MLB's slutspil.
Der blev allerede i 1884 afholdt en mesterskabsserie mellem vinderen af National League og den daværende American Association. Den moderne World Series mellem American League og National League regnes i dag fra 1903.
American League begyndte at fungere som en konkurrerende major league i 1901, og de to ligaer kæmpede blandt andet om spillerne. Efter en tilnærmelse mellem ligaerne blev den første moderne World Series afholdt i 1903 mellem Boston Americans og Pittsburgh Pirates.
Finalen i 1903 blev spillet bedst af ni kampe. Det samme gjorde sig gældende i finalerne i 1919-1921, mens de øvrige moderne World Series er blevet spillet bedre af syv. Fra 1922 blev dette det faste format.
Slutspillet har siden 2022 omfattet 12 hold: hver ligas tre divisionsvindere og tre wildcard-hold. De to bedste divisionsvindere fra hver liga går direkte til Division Series. Wild Card Series spilles bedst af tre kampe og Division Series bedst af fem. Derefter følger League Championship Series, hvor deltagerne spiller om at deltage i den endelige World Series.
World Series fordeles normalt efter et 2-3-2-format. Holdet med hjemmebanefordelen er vært for kamp 1 og 2 samt, hvis de bliver nødvendige, kamp 6 og 7. Modstanderen er vært for kampe 3, 4 og eventuelt 5. Hjemmebanefordelen tilfalder det hold, som har det bedste resultat fra grundspillet.
