The 1900 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the State University of Iowa ("S.U.I."), now commonly known as the University of Iowa, as a member of the Western Conference during the 1900 Western Conference football season. In their third year under head coach Alden Knipe, the Hawkeyes compiled a 7–0–1 record (2–0–1 in conference games), tied with Minnesota for the Western Conference championship, shut out their first five opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 311 to 12. This was the Hawkeyes' second consecutive undefeated season and their first season in the Western Conference.

Quarterback Clyde Williams and tackle Joe Warner received first-team All-Big Ten honors. Williams was later inducted into the Iowa Letterwinners Club Hall of Fame. Fullback John G. Griffith was the team captain.

The team played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
