The 1962 Duke Blue Devils football team represented Duke University as member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 1962 NCAA University Division football season. Led by 12-year head coach William D. Murray, the Blue Devils compiled an overall record of 8–2 with a mark of 6–0 in conference play, winning the ACC title for the third consecutive season.

Duke was ranked No. 8 in the AP poll for the season opener against USC, but dropped out of the rankings following the loss and was not ranked again for the remainder of the season. The Blue Devils declined an invitation to play in the 1962 Gator Bowl.[1] Duke's 1962 ACC title remains the school's most recent outright conference championship.
