TheVirginia Cavaliers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of theVirginia Cavaliers 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 Cavaliers represent theUniversity of Virginia in theNCAA'sAtlantic Coast Conference.

Although Virginia began competing in intercollegiate football in 1888,^[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1946. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

• Since 1946, 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 (with the exception of theWorld War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
• Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.^[2] The Cavaliers have played in 6 bowl games since this decision, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.

These lists are updated through the end of the2016 season.

Total offense is the sum of passing and rushing statistics. It does not include receiving or returns.^[32]
