The 1948 Michigan Tech Huskies football team was an American football team that represented the Michigan College of Mining and Technology (later renamed Michigan Technological University) as an independent during the 1948 college football season. In their second year under head coach Alan Bovard, the Huskies compiled a perfect 7–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 209 to 58.[2]

The Houghton Daily Mining Gazette wrote of the Huskies' perfect season: "It is an accomplishment unique in the annals of Michigan Tech football and will stand as a monument to Coach Bovard, his staff, and the members of a great team."[3] It was one of two perfect seasons for the Michigan Tech football program, the other occurring 26 years later by the 1974 team.[4] Other schools compiling perfect seasons in 1948 included Michigan, Clemson, Occidental, and Alma.[5]

Key players on the 1948 team included quarterback Carl Stenson, left halfback Dick Peterson, end John Winkel, tackles George Bianchi and John Donald, guard Jack Patek, and center Hal Smith.[6] The team's assistant coaches were Chuck Bernard (line coach), Rex Benoit (end coach), and Ken Hawk (backfield coach).[7]

The team played its home games on Sherman Field in Houghton, Michigan.
