The 1905 Victorian Football League season was the ninth season of the elite Australian rules football competition.

In 1905, the VFL competition consisted of eight teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.

Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 14 rounds.

Once the 14 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1905 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system".

Fitzroy defeated Collingwood 4.6 (30) to 2.5 (17). (For an explanation of scoring see Australian rules football).
