The Sacramento State Hornets football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Sacramento State Hornets 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 Hornets represent California State University, Sacramento in the NCAA's Mid-American Conference.
Sacramento began competing in intercollegiate football in 1954. These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons: 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.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2025 season.
