The 1920 Boston University football team was an American football team that represented Boston University as an independent during the 1920 college football season. The team compiled a 4–3–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 49 to 48.[1]

In July 1920, Percy Wendell was hired at the school's head football coach. Wendell had been an All-American football fullback at Harvard. He had not been active in football since leaving Harvard.[2] Wendell's arrival led to a new enthusiasm for football among the student body.[3][4]

Wendell spent only one season at Boston University, departing in 1921 for Williams College.[5]
