The 1900 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1900 Western Conference football season. The team's head coach was the four-time All-American from Princeton and future College Football Hall of Fame inductee, Langdon Lea. The team opened the season with six wins, but went 1–2–1 in the final four games for an overall record of 7–2–1. Outscored its opponents by a season total of 117 to 55, Michigan won its first three games against Western Conference opponents, Purdue (11–6), Illinois (12–0), and Indiana (12–0), but then lost its final two conference games to Iowa (28–5) and Chicago (15–6). After the 1900 season, Michigan replaced Lea with a new coach from the Stanford University, Fielding H. Yost. Yost took over in 1901 and led the Wolverines to four consecutive undefeated seasons.

Michigan opened the 1900 season with three non-conference games, all played at Regents Field in Ann Arbor. The team won the three games by a combined score of 64 to 6. The first game was a 29–0 win over Hillsdale College. After the game, The New York Times reported that "Hillsdale was on the defensive throughout the game," and Coach Lea "was pleased with the showing made by the team."
