The 1941 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by various organizations for All-Pacific Coast teams for the 1941 college football season. The organizations selecting teams in 1941 included the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP).[1][2]

Oregon State won the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) championship with an 8-2 record, finished the season ranked #12 in the final AP Poll, and was represented by center Quentin Greenough on the AP and UP teams. Washington State compiled a 6-4 record, was ranked #19 in the final AP Poll, and landed three players on either the AP or UP teams: halfback Billy Sewell (AP, UP) and ends Nick Susoeff (AP, UP) and Dale Gentry (AP). Despite finishing in fourth place, Stanford also had three players receiving first-team honors: quarterback Frankie Albert (AP, UP), guard Chuck Taylor (AP, UP), and end Fred Mayer (UP),[1][2]

No players from teams outside the PCC received first-team honors from the AP or UP.[1][2]
