The 1947 Massachusetts Statesmen football team was an American football team that represented the University of Massachusetts in the Yankee Conference during the 1947 college football season. In its third season under head coach Thomas Eck, the team compiled a 3–4–1 record (0–1–1 in conference play).

In the final Litkenhous Ratings released in mid-December, Massachusetts State was ranked at No. 343 out of 500 college football teams.[1]

The team played its home games at Alumni Field in Amherst, Massachusetts.

The Yankee Conference began play in 1947, as Massachusetts joined the other land-grant colleges in New England to form the new conference.
