The 1893 Iowa Agricultural Cardinals football team represented Iowa Agricultural College (later renamed Iowa State University) as an independent during the 1893 college football season. The 1893 Cyclones compiled a 0–3 record, losing twice to Grinnell (6-36 and 2-6) and once to Cornell (6-14). They were outscored by a combined total of 56 to 4. W. P. Finney was the head coach, and Ed Mellinger was the team captain.[1]

Between 1892 and 1913, the football team played on a field that later became the site of the university's Parks Library.[2]
