This is a list of Nebraska Cornhuskers football All-Americans who have been selected as a first-team All-American by one or more selectors.
Nebraska has produced 97 players who have earned 111 first-team, fifty-five consensus, and twenty-one unanimous All-Americans. Tackle Vic Halligan was named Nebraska's first All-American in 1914. The following year, end Guy Chamberlin became a consensus All-American, one who appears on over half of All-America lists from recognized selectors. Thirteen Cornhuskers have been named an All-American multiple times, most recently offensive lineman Aaron Taylor. From 1963 to 2003, there were just three seasons in which NU did not have at least one player selected as an All-American.
