The 1919 Texas A&M Aggies football team was an American football team that represented Texas A&M University in the Southwest Conference during the 1919 college football season. In their second season under head coach Dana X. Bible, the Aggies compiled a 10–0, won the Southwest Conference championship, did not allow a single point during the season, and outscored opponents by a total of 275 to 0.[1] Texas A&M began the season with a doubleheader in College Station and scored a combined 105 points.

There was no contemporaneous system in 1919 for determining a national champion. However, Texas A&M was retroactively named as the national champion for 1919 by the Billingsley Report (using its alternate "margin of victory" methodology) and as a co-national champion with Harvard and Notre Dame by the National Championship Foundation.[2]
