The 1952 Wyoming Cowboys football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wyoming as a member of the Skyline Conference during the 1952 college football season. In their sixth and final season under head coach Bowden Wyatt, the Cowboys compiled a 5–4 record (4–3 against Skyline opponents), finished fourth in the conference, and outscored opponents by a total of 114 to 102.[1][2]

In January 1953, Bowden Wyatt resigned as Wyoming's head football coach to accept the same post at the University of Arkansas.[3] In six years at Wyoming, Wyatt compiled a 39–17–1 record. He was posthumously inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1997.[4]
