The 1926 Washington & Jefferson Presidents football team was an American football team that represented Washington & Jefferson College as an independent during the 1926 college football season. In their first season under head coach Andrew Kerr, the Presidents compiled a 7–1–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 143 to 46. Their sole loss was by a 16-10 score against 1926 national champion Lafayette -- the narrowest margin of any team against Lafayette in its national championship season. In the penultimate game of the season, the Presidents played Pittsburgh to a scoreless tie before a crowd of 50,000 at Pitt Stadium.
Fullback Bill Amos was selected as a second-team All-American by the All-America Board, International News Service (INS), Billy Evans, and Walter Eckersall. He was also selected by the Associated Press (AP) as a first-team player on the 1926 All-Eastern football team.
