The 1945 Air Transport Command Rockets football team represented the Air Transport Command (ATC) based in Nashville, Tennessee during the 1945 college football season. The Rockets competed in the Army Air Forces League (AAF League) with six others teams from the United States Army Air Forces. The Rockets compiled an overall record of 6–3–2 with a mark of 2–3–1 in league play, placing fifth in the AAF League. Captain Dick Emerson of Portland, Oregon served as the team's head coach at the outset of the season. He was transferred by the Army in late September and succeeded by Captain Eddie Davison of Plainfield, New Jersey as acting coach.

The ATC Rockets were ranked 18th among the nation's college and service teams in the final Litkenhous Ratings.
