The Georgia Southern Eagles football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Georgia Southern Eagles football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Eagles represent Georgia Southern University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference.

Although Georgia Southern competed in intercollegiate football as early as 1924,[1] the school dropped football after the 1940 season and did not reinstate the program until 1982. Because records from the 1924-1940 period are often incomplete and inconsistent, the school's record book only include players from 1982 on.

During much of its history, the Eagles have run an option offense, focused on running over passing. Therefore, the Eagles' passing records tend to be lower than at most other schools. An exception to this trend is the years 2006 through 2009, when the Eagles scrapped the option offense under head coaches Brian VanGorder and Chris Hatcher.[2]

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
