The Boston University Terriers football program were the American football team for Boston University located in Boston, Massachusetts. The team competed in the NCAA Division I-AA and were members of the Yankee Conference and later the Atlantic 10 Conference. The school's first football team was fielded in 1884. Boston University participated in football from 1884-1997, compiling an all-time record of 323–390–34.[2] Boston University terminated their DI-AA football program on Homecoming Weekend 1997 during a one-win season in the Atlantic 10. The players at the time were allowed to keep their 4-year scholarships or transfer without NCAA penalties. The University has used the former-football scholarships to comply with Title IX requirements.

Boston University still fields a club football squad in the modern Yankee Conference.
