The McDaniel Green Terror football is the college football team representing McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland in the United States. DeMarcus White has served as the team's head coach since 2019. McDaniel plays its home games at Kenneth R. Gill Stadium. The team was known as the Western Maryland Green Terror prior to 2002, when the school was renamed from Western Maryland College to its current name.

According to sportswriter Grantland Rice, the Green Terror invented the forward pass.[1] The team also invented the shovel pass, were the first team invited to the Orange Bowl and claimed the 1929 national championship.[2][3] Notable coaches and players include quarterback Eugene "Stoney" Willis, first player to throw the shovel pass; All-American and five-time All-NFL running back Bill Shepherd, and college football Hall of Fame coaches Dick Harlow and Rip Engle.
