The 1929–30 Ottawa Senators season was the club's 13th season in the NHL, 45th overall. The Senators would continue to have some financial difficulties, and due to poor attendance against US based teams, the Senators moved 2 home games to Atlantic City against the New York Americans and New York Rangers, along with 2 to Detroit, and a game to Boston. The NHL also announced a rule change, now allowing forward passing in the offensive zone, in an effort to increase goal scoring.

Hec Kilrea would lead the club with 36 goals and 58 points, while King Clancy would add 40 points (17 goals and 23 assists) from the blue line. Joe Lamb would provide toughness, leading the NHL with 119 penalty minutes, and would have a very good offensive season, finishing with 29 goals and 49 points.

Alec Connell would once again be steady in the Senators net, winning 21 games, earning 3 shutouts and be among the league leaders in GAA at 2.55.

The Senators would finish in 3rd place in the Canadian Division, and would face the 3rd place team from the American Division, the New York Rangers in a 2 game most goals series. The Rangers would defeat the Senators by a combined score of 6–3 to end the Ottawa's season.
