The St. Louis Cardinals 1994 season was the team's 113th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 103rd season in the National League. The Cardinals went 53–61 during the season and finished tied for third place with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Central division, 13 games behind the Cincinnati Reds. The season was cut short due to the infamous 1994 player's strike.

Catcher Tom Pagnozzi won a Gold Glove this year.

By Friday, August 12, the Cardinals had compiled a 53-61 record through 114 games (although they had actually played 115 games, since their April 6 match versus the Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium ended after the top of the 6th inning due to poor weather[4]). They had scored 535 runs (4.65 per game) and allowed 621 runs (5.40 per game).[5]
