The 1900 Alabama Crimson White football team (variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama") represented the University of Alabama in the 1900 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. The team was led by head coach Malcolm Griffin, in his first season, and played their home games at The Quad in Tuscaloosa and one game at North Birmingham Park in Birmingham, Alabama. In what was the eighth season of Alabama football, the team finished with a record of two wins and three losses (2–3, 1–3 SIAA).

The Crimson White opened the season with three consecutive games at The Quad. After a shutout victory over the Taylor School, Alabama opened SIAA play with a 12–5 victory over Ole Miss. However, the Crimson White did proceed to lose their final three games en route to a 2–3 record. After a 6–0 loss to Tulane, Alabama traveled to Montgomery where they were defeated 53–5 by Auburn and closed the season with a 35–0 loss to Clemson at Birmingham.

Alabama opened the season against the Taylor School, a preparatory school in Birmingham and defeated them 35–0. In the victory, A. M. Donahoo scored two and both James Forman and Arthur Walter Stewart each scored one touchdown in this shutout victory.

Alabama opened SIAA play with a 12–5 victory over the University of Mississippi. Alabama scored first on a short Earl Drennen touchdown run, and with the successful PAT took a 6–0 lead. Mississippi responded with their only touchdown of the game shortly before the half on a short run to make the score 6–5 after a failed PAT. Arthur Walter Stewart then scored the final points of the game late in the second half on a short run to make the final score 12–5. The victory brought Alabama's all-time record against Mississippi to 2–1.
