The 1927 All-Eastern football team consists of American football players chosen by various selectors as the best players at each position among the Eastern colleges and universities during the 1927 college football season.
Four players received first-team All-Eastern honors and were also consensus first-team All-Americans: halfback Gibby Welch of Pittsburgh; tackle Ed Hake of Penn; guard Bill Webster; and center John Charlesworth of Yale. Sprague was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
