The 1893 Purdue Boilermakers football team was an American football team that represented Purdue University during the 1893 college football season. Led by three successive head coaches, the team compiled a 5–2–1 record and outscored their opponents by a total of 334 to 144. William P. Finney was the team captain.
Princeton center D. M. Balliet arrived as Purdue coach by mid-September but departed later that month, before any games were played, to take back his old position on the Princeton team. He was replaced by M. P. Randolph, also of Princeton, who led the Boilermakers until leaving on November 6 to coach and play for the Columbia Athletic Club of Washington, DC. Edward Seixas of the Chicago Athletic Association took charge of the team for its last two games.
The Purdue yearbook listed all three men as coaches; however, the school's football media guide credits only Balliet.
