The 1931 Superior State Yellowjackets football team represented Superior State Teachers College (now known as University of Wisconsin–Superior) as a member of the Wisconsin State Teachers College Conference (WSTCC) during the 1931 college football season. In their second year under head coach Ted Whereatt, the Yellowjackets compiled a perfect 7–0 record (3–0 against WSTCC opponents), shut out five of seven opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 224 to 13.
The Yellowjackets returned to the WSTCC in 1931 after having been suspended in 1930 for using ineligible players. Despite its undefeated season, Superior was ineligible for the WSTCC championship as it did not fulfill the requirement of playing four games against conference opponents.
After the season, the conference coaches selected an all-conference team. Two Superior players, end Joe Lesczynski and halfback Clark Croft, were named to the first team. Guard Harry Erbeck was named to the second team.
The team played its home games at Gates Field in Superior, Wisconsin.
