The 1905 Notre Dame football team was an American football team that represented the University of Notre Dame in the 1905 college football season. In its first season with Henry J. McGlew as coach, the team compiled a 5–4 record and outscored its opponents by a combined total of 312 to 80.

The Wabash Little Giants traveled to South Bend on October 21 that year, and defeated Notre Dame 5–0. The upset is the Fighting Irish's only home-field loss in 125 games between 1899 and 1928.[1][2] The next week, Notre Dame scored its most points in game ever, against American Medical, winning 142 to 0.[3]
