The 1941 Gonzaga Bulldogs football team was an American football team that represented Gonzaga University during the 1941 college football season. In their third year under head coach Puggy Hunton, the Bulldogs compiled a 3–7 record and were outscored by their opponents by a total of 201 to 65.[1]

The season ended two weeks before the Attack on Pearl Harbor. In April 1942, Gonzaga's president, Father Leo J. Robinson, announced that it was suspending its intercollegiate football program for the duration of World War II. Robinson stated the loss of numerous football players and prospect to military service made further competition impossible.[2] The program was not resumed after the war ended.
