The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, Single season and career leaders. The Rainbow Warriors represent the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in the NCAA Division I FBS Mountain West Conference (MW).
Although Hawaii began competing in intercollegiate football in 1909, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1968. 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 1968, college football seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length. Additionally, the NCAA allows Hawaii to play one more game each season than institutions located on the U.S. mainland, presumably as compensation for the costs required to travel to games on the mainland. In turn, this means that a typical Hawaii season now consists of 13 regular-season games, not counting possible conference championship games or bowl appearances. The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers. Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002. The Rainbow Warriors have played in 12 bowl games since then. The Rainbow Warriors also played in the 2019 MW Championship Game, giving players in that season yet another game to accumulate statistics. Since 2018, players have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt. Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit. These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics. Due to COVID-19 disruptions, the NCAA did not count the 2020 season against the eligibility of any football player, giving all players active in that season five years of eligibility instead of the normal four.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2025 season. The 2025 Hawai'i Football Almanac does not list a top 10 for every statistic, sometimes only listing a single leader.
