The 1919 Santa Clara Missionites football team was an American football team that represented Santa Clara University during the 1919 college football season. The team compiled a 2–4 record but nevertheless outscored opponents by a total of 130 to 86, on the strength of two 60-point games against the crews of USS Boston and USS Nebraska.[1]

The team was led by first-year coach Robert E. Harmon.
