The 1947 Idaho State Bengals football team was an American football team that represented Idaho State College (later renamed Idaho State University) as an independent during the 1947 college football season. In their fifth season under head coach John Vesser, the team compiled a 3–5–1 record yet outscored their opponents, 166 to 137.[4][1]

In the final Litkenhous Ratings released in mid-December, Idaho State was ranked at No. 437 out of 500 college football teams.[5]

This was the first season that the program was known as "Idaho State", as the school had previously been named the University of Idaho, Southern Branch.
