The 1910 Pittsburgh Panthers football team represented the University of Pittsburgh in the 1910 college football season. Pittsburgh shut out all nine of its opponents, outscored opponents by a combined score of 282 to 0, and finished with a perfect 9–0 record in their third year under head coach Joseph H. Thompson.[1]

The 1910 Pitt team has been recognized as a co-national champion by the National Championship Foundation. However, Pitt did not play games against any of the leading football teams in 1910, and Harvard is recognized as the consensus national champion for the season.[2]

Significant games played by Pitt during the 1910 season included victories over West Virginia (38–0), Washington & Jefferson (14-0), and Penn State (11–0).[1]

Two Pittsburgh players were recognized by at least one selector on the 1910 College Football All-America Team. They are: fullback Tex Richards (Pittsburgh Dispatch, 1st team); and center Ralph Galvin (Pittsburgh Dispatch, 1st team; Pittsburgh Leader, 1st team).[3]
