The 1992 Cincinnati Reds season saw the Reds finish in second place in the National League West with a record of 90 wins and 72 losses.

This was the final season in which the Reds donned the pullover jersey and beltless pants uniform style first worn in 1972 (the Reds being the last MLB team still wearing them). Following this season they switched back to a traditional baseball uniform. This was also the final season they wore their Big Red Machine era uniforms which were introduced in 1967.[1]
