The 1926 Tulane Green Wave football team was an American football team that represented Tulane University as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1926 college football season. In its 11th and final season under head coach Clark Shaughnessy, Tulane compiled a 3–5–1 record (2–4 in conference games), tied for 15th place in the SoCon, and outscored opponents by a total of 71 to 60.

Spirits were high to begin the season as Milton Levy was the only member of the 1925 line to leave, but the losses in the backfield of Lester Lautenschlaeger, Peggy Flournoy, and Fred Lamprecht proved to be costly. Captain Harry P. Gamble was All-Southern.
