The Arizona Diamondbacks' 2008 season was the 11th season of the franchise in Major League Baseball. Arizona tried to defend their National League West title after winning the division the previous year. But despite a franchise-best 20–8 start in the months of March and April, they couldn't maintain the division lead late in the season and collapsed with many losing streaks and stumbled to an 82–80 record, good enough for a second-place finish, only two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
