The 1893 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team represented the University of Minnesota in the 1893 college football season.

The game was a rout and the teams agreed to stop the game early after Minnesota took a 40–0 lead. Due to financial difficulties, the league disbanded after the 1893 season.[1]: 23
