The 1893 Carlisle Indians football team represented the Carlisle Indian Industrial School as an independent during the 1893 college football season. The Indians were coached by W. G. Thompson in the school's first year of organized intercollegiate football recognized by the NCAA.Official 2007 NCAA Division I Records Book, National Collegiate Athletic Association, p. 399, 2007. The Indians were consistently outsized by the teams they scheduled, and they in turn relied on speed and guile to remain competitive. The team compiled a record of 2–1; outscored opponents 60 to 16. Richard Henry Pratt laid out the fundamental rule of Carlisle football; "Promise me that you'll never slug."
