The 1941 Rutgers Queensmen football team represented Rutgers University in the 1941 college football season. In their fourth season under head coach Harvey Harman, the Queensmen compiled a 7–2 record and outscored their opponents 174 to 85. The team's two losses were against Syracuse (7–49) and Lafayette (0–16).[1]

In February 1942, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Rutgers head coach Harman, who had led the team to a 26–7–1 record from 1938 to 1941, joined the United States Navy.[2] Harman missed the 1942 to 1945 seasons due to military service.
