The UConn Huskies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UConn Huskies football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Huskies represent the University of Connecticut in the NCAA as a Division I FBS independent.
Although UConn began competing in intercollegiate football in 1896, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1952. 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 1952, 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, two years after UConn first played in FBS. From 1978 to 1999, UConn had played in Division I-AA, now known as Division I FCS; the NCAA's pre-2002 policy regarding I-AA/FCS playoff statistics was the same as that in FBS (then Division I-A). The Huskies have played in eight bowl games since then, and are assured of a ninth in 2025, allowing many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
- Since 2018, players have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt. Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit. These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2025 regular season. Players active for UConn in 2025 are in bold.
