The 2008 Fordham Rams football team was an American football team that represented Fordham University during the 2008 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Fordham finished second-to-last in the Patriot League, a year after winning the league title.

In their third year under head coach Tom Masella, the Rams compiled a 5–6 record. James Crockett, Fonzie Culver, Greg DeMarco, Matt Loucks, Richard Rayborn and John Skelton were the team captains.[1]

The Rams were outscored 262 to 238; their 1–5 conference record placed sixth out of seven in the Patriot League standings.[2]

Fordham played its home games at Jack Coffey Field on the university's Rose Hill campus in The Bronx, in New York City.

An on-campus monument to the Seven Blocks of Granite was dedicated on October 24, honoring the offensive lines of 1929, 1930, 1936, and 1937.[3] It is located on Constitution Row, near the west end of the grandstand of Coffey Field.
