The 1899 Kansas Jayhawks football team represented the University of Kansas in the 1899 college football season. In their first and only season under head coach Fielding H. Yost, the Jayhawks compiled an undefeated 10–0 record, shut out six of their ten opponents, scored 280 points (28.0 points per games) and allowed only 37 points (3.7 points per game). The season included victories over Haskell Institute (12–0 and 18–0), Drake (29–5), Nebraska (36–20), and Missouri (34–6).[1]

Bennie Owen, who later coached at Oklahoma for 22 years, was the team's quarterback, and Hubert Avery was the team captain. Owen and coach Yost were both subsequently inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[2][3]
