For a team, 116 by the 1906 Chicago Cubs and the 2001 Seattle Mariners. By virtue of playing a shorter schedule, the Cubs have a higher winning percentage.
For a pitcher, let's break it down into four eras, as the style of gameplay has evolved, making straightforward comparisons not impossible but qualitatively near-meaningless.
19th century: 59, Charley "Old Hoss" Radbourne, 1884 Providence Grays
Deadball (~1900-20): 41, Jack Chesbro, 1904 New York Yankees
Liveball (1921-45): 31, Lefty Grove, 1931 Philadelphia Athletics
Modern/post-WWII: 31, Denny McLain, 1968 Detroit Tigers
Consider, in the 19th century, 30+ wins didn't raise an eyebrow, 30+ was rather common during the Deadball days, 30 was almost extinct in Liveball, and McLain has the only 30+ season (during the best pitchers' season since the AL was founded) since.
