    The 1905 Yale Bulldogs football team was an American football that represented Yale University as an independent during the 1905 college football season. The team finished with a 10–0 record, shut out nine of ten opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 227 to 4.[1] Jack Owsley was the head coach, and Tom Shevlin was the team captain.

    There was no contemporaneous system in 1905 for determining a national champion. However, Yale was retroactively named as the national champion by Caspar Whitney and Parke H. Davis.[2]

    Four Yale players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1905 All-America team. The team's consensus All-Americans were: quarterback Guy Hutchinson, halfback Howard Roome, end Tom Shevlin, and guard Roswell Tripp.[3] Other key players included halfback Samuel F. B. Morse and tackles Robert Forbes and Lucius Horatio Biglow.
