The 1900 California Golden Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of California, Berkeley during the 1900 college football season. The team competed as an independent under head coach Addison Kelly and compiled a record of 4–2–1.

In the Big Game versus Stanford, a large crowd of people gathered upon the roof of a nearby glass blowing factory to watch for free. The roof collapsed, killing 23 and injuring over 100 more. The Thanksgiving Day Disaster remains the deadliest accident at a sporting event in U.S. history.
