This is a list of some of the records relating to home runs hit in baseball games played in the Major Leagues. Some Major League records are sufficiently notable to have their own page, for example the single-season home run record, the progression of the lifetime home run record, and the members of the 500 home run club. A few other records are kept on separate pages, they are listed below.
In the tables below, players and teams denoted in boldface are still actively contributing to the record noted, while (r) denotes a player's rookie season.

Notes
- Mark McGwire led the American League in home runs in 1987 and 1996. He led the National League in 1998 and 1999. In 1997, he led Major League Baseball in home runs, but led neither the American nor National League, as his season was split between the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. If that season were to be included, he would be the league leader for five seasons, four of which were in succession.
- Delahanty, Horner, and Suárez are the only players to hit four home runs in a game as a part of a losing effort.[68][69][70]
- Game 2 of a doubleheader.
- Tony Cloninger is unique on this list as the only pitcher.
- Fernando Tatís is the only player to hit his two grand slams in the same inning: in the third inning off Chan Ho Park. It was also the Major League record for RBIs by a player in one inning (8).
- Nomar Garciaparra is the only player to do so at home.
- Bill Mueller is the only player to hit a grand slam from each side of the plate.
