The 1994 Central Michigan Chippewas football team represented Central Michigan University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season.

The team's statistical leaders included quarterback Erik Timpf with 1,315 passing yards, tailback Brian Pruitt with 1,890 rushing yards, and flanker Terrance McMillan with 398 receiving yards.^[5] Pruitt's 1,890 rushing yards remains a Central Michigan record, as do his 1994 totals of 132 points scored, 20 rushing touchdowns, and 22 total touchdowns in a season.^[6] His tally of 435 yards of total offense against Toledo on November 5, 1994, remains a school record, and his total of 356 rushing yards in the same game was a school record until Robbie Mixon rushed for 377 yards in a game in 2002.^[7] Pruitt was selected by the Associated Press as a first-team all-purpose player on the 1994 College Football All-America Team. He was also named the MAC Player of the Year and Central Michigan's most valuable player.^[8] Pruitt, tight end Jerremy Dunlap, offensive guard Matt Nastally, and safety Quincy Wright were selected as first-team All-MAC player.^[9]

Dick Flynn was named MAC Coach of the Year in his first year as head coach.^[10] Flynn took over as Central Michigan's head football coach in March 1994, after Herb Deromedi became the school's athletic director.^[11]
