The Army Black Knights football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Army Black Knights football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Black Knights represent the United States Military Academy as an Independent in the NCAA.

Although Army began competing in intercollegiate football in 1890,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1944. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

  • Since 1944, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
  • The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
  • Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Black Knights have played in one bowl game since then, the 2010 Armed Forces Bowl, allowing the players to accumulate statistics for an extra game that season.

The Black Knights have traditionally run an option offense that emphasizes running, including by the quarterbacks. However, Army ran a pro-style offense in the 1970s and the early 2000s,[3] and passing and receiving records tend to belong to players from those eras.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2015 season.
