The 1957 West Chester Golden Rams football team was an American football team that represented West Chester State College (now known as West Chester University) as a member of the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Conference (PSTCC) during the 1957 college football season. In their 20th year under head coach Glenn Killinger, the Golden Rams compiled a perfect 8–0 record (4–0 against PSTCC opponents) and outscored opponents by a total of 326 to 40.[1] Despite a 14-game winning streak dating back to 1956, West Chester lost the PSTCC title to Shippensburg and Lock Haven due to the conference's point system that rated the relative strength of each team's opponents.[2]

The 1957 season was one of five perfect seasons in West Chester Rams football history, the others being 1923, 1928, 1952, and 1960.[3]

The team played its home game at Wayne Field in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
