The 1954 Carleton Knights football team represented Carleton College as a member of the Midwest Conference (MWC) during the 1954 college football season.
In their 16th year under head coach Walter Hass, the Knights compiled an 8–0 record (also 8–0 in conference games), won the MWC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 139 to 59.
It was Carleton's first MWC championship since 1936.
Four Carleton players were selected by the MWC coaches as first-team players on the 1954 all-conference football team: quarterback Dick Scott; back Ted Smebakken; tackle Dick McAuliffe; and guard Dick Lundekugel.
