The 1894 Wyoming Cowboys football team represented the University of Wyoming as an independent during the 1894 college football season. In its first season under head coach Justus F. Soule, a professor of Latin and Greek, the team compiled a perfect 3–0 record. In games against a Laramie town team, the Wilson Beauties, and the No. 5 Hose Company, the team outscored opponents by a total of 46 to 6.

For the first of three consecutive years, Herbert J. Brees was the team captain. Brees was a native of Laramie who went on to a career in the United States Army. He retired from the Army in 1941 with the rank of lieutenant general.

It was not until 1895 that the team began intercollegiate play.
