Michigan Wolverines football All-Americans are American football players who have been named as All-Americans while playing for the University of Michigan football team.

Overview

Since 1898, 137 Michigan Wolverines football players have earned first-team All-American honors.

William Cunningham was the first in 1898 based on a performance that led Louis Elbel to write "The Victors". Neil Snow was the second in 1901 based on his role on the 1901 team that outscored its opponents 550–0. Willie Heston was the first Michigan All-American selected by Walter Camp.

There are two players who have earned the distinction three times: Bennie Oosterbaan (1925–1927) and Anthony Carter (1980–1982).
