The National League East Division is one of Major League Baseball's six divisions. The Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies are tied for the most National League East Division titles (11). All of Atlanta's NL East titles came during a record stretch of 14 consecutive division titles. (The first three titles of that streak came when the Braves were in the National League West Division.) Philadelphia has won the last five consecutive division titles (2007-2011).

During the two-division era, from 1969 to 1993, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates alone owned more than half of the division titles, having won a combined 15 of 25 championships during that span.[1] They were also the only teams in the division to have won consecutive titles during that span.[2][3][4]
