The 2005 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 40th in the National Football League (NFL).
It began with the team trying to defend their NFC South division title and 11–5 record in 2004.
Bright spots included the Falcons ending their Monday Night Football jinx by going 3–0, and on Thursday, November 24, the Falcons played on Thanksgiving Day for the first time in franchise history with a 27–7 victory over the Detroit Lions.
On the next to last game of the regular season, the Falcons were eliminated from postseason contention with a 27–24 overtime loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
