TheAir Force Falcons football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of theAir Force Falcons football program in various categories,^[1] includingpassing,rushing,receiving,total offense, defensive stats, andkicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Falcons represent theUnited States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in theNCAA'sMountain West Conference.

Although Air Force began competing in intercollegiate football in 1955,^[1] these lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

• Since 1955, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
• The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until1972, allowing players to have four-year careers.
• Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.^[2] The Falcons have played in nine bowl games since this decision, giving recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
• Due toCOVID-19 disruptions, the NCAA ruled that the 2020 season would not count against the eligibility of any football player. While the service academies generally do notredshirt players, theDepartment of the Air Force allowed the USAFA to give its cadet athletes an extra season of eligibility. (Army was given this same option, butNavy was not.)^[3]

The values on these list are often smaller than the values seen on other programs' lists for several reasons:

• Air Force has only played since 1955, making it a relatively new college football program.
• The Air Force Academy is a four-year undergraduate program, so it does not redshirt players under normal circumstances.^[4] This means that for a player to play for four years, he must be good enough to see the field as a true freshman. Relatively few players are prepared to do this, which depresses career records.
• Air Force has run atriple option offense since the arrival of head coachKen Hatfield in 1978. This offense emphasizes running over passing. Most passing records were established in the 24-year period before this time.

These lists are updated through the end of the2022 season.

Total offense is the sum of passing and rushing statistics. It does not include receiving or returns.^[22]

"Touchdowns responsible for" is the NCAA's official term for combined passing and rushing touchdowns.^[27]
