The 1920 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho as a member of the Northwest Conference during the 1920 college football season. Led by first-year head coach Thomas Kelley, the Vandals compiled an overall record of 4–2 with a mark of 2–2 in conference play, placing fourth in the Northwest Conference. The team played one home game on campus, at MacLean Field in Moscow, Idaho, and one in Boise, Idaho, at the state fairgrounds.

Idaho dropped a sixth consecutive game to Washington State in the Battle of the Palouse, falling, 14–7, in the opener in Moscow. Three years later, the Vandals won the first of three consecutive, their only three-peat in the rivalry series.

After coming up six points short at Oregon to start with two losses, Idaho won its last four games.
