The 1935 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1935 college football season. The Vandals were led by first-year head coach Ted Bank, and were members of the Pacific Coast Conference. Home games were played on campus in Moscow at MacLean Field, with one in Boise at Public School Field.

Idaho compiled a 2–7 overall record and lost all but one of its six games in the PCC,[1] defeating cellar rival Montana.[2][3]

In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, the Vandals suffered an eighth straight loss, falling 0–6 at homecoming in Moscow on November 9.[4][5] Idaho's most recent win in the series was ten years earlier in 1925 and the next was nineteen years away in 1954.
