The 1937 Stanford Indians football team represented Stanford University as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1937 college football season. Led by fifth-year head coach Claude E. Thornhill, the Indians compiled an overall record of 4–3–2 with a mark of 4–2–1 in conference play, placing second in the PCC. The team played home games at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California.

Stanford had been scheduled to play two games in Hawaii—against a Honolulu town team and the Hawaii Rainbows—in December, but the games were canceled due to steamship schedule changes that meant the team would miss a week and a half of classes in winter quarter.[1][2] Washington replaced Stanford for both games.[2]
