The 1946 Tuskegee Golden Tigers football team represented the Tuskegee Institute—now known as Tuskegee University—as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) during the 1946 college football season. In their 24th season under head coach Cleveland Abbott, Tuskegee compiled a 10–2 record (5–1 against SIAC opponents), lost to Southern in the Yam Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 287 to 138.^[1]

The Dickinson System rated Tuskegee as the No. 3 black college football team for 1946, behind No. 1 Tennessee A&I and No. 2 Morgan State.^[2]

Two Tuskegee players were selected as first-team player on The Pittsburgh Courier's 1946 All-America team: freshman guard Herman Mabrie from Tulsa, Oklahoma; and junior back Whitney Van Cleve from Kokomo, Indiana. Two other were named to the second team: center Simmons and quarterback Robert Moore.^[3]

The team played home games at the Alumni Bowl in Tuskegee, Alabama.
