The 1936 Kirksville Bulldogs football team represented the Kirksville State Teachers College (also known as Northeast Missouri State Teachers College, later renamed as Truman State University) as a member of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) during the 1936 college football season. In their second year under head coach Fred Faurot, the Bulldogs compiled a 7–0 record (4–0 against conference opponents), won the MIAA championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 79 to 29.[1] It was Kirksville's fifth consecutive MIAA championship. The team had not lost a game against an MIAA opponent since 1931.[2]

Between 1933 and 1936, Kirksville lost only one game and had four perfect seasons in five years: 1932 (8–0), 1933 (9–0), 1934 (8–0), and 1936 (7–0).[3][1]

The team played its home games at Stokes Stadium in Kirksville, Missouri.
