The 1932 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida during the 1932 college football season. The season was Charlie Bachman's fifth and last as the head coach of the Florida Gators football team. In the Gators' final year as members of the Southern Conference, they finished twentieth of twenty-three teams in the conference standings.

Coach Bachman expected the Gators to win half of their games. The Florida squad was full of sophomores.

The Gators opened the season with their only conference victory, a 19–0 shutout of the struggling Sewanee Tigers. Hub McAnly ran a school record 91 yards for one score.

In the second week of play, Florida beat The Citadel in the rain 27–7.

In Tampa, the Gators lost to the NC State Wolfpack 17–6. An Al Rogero touchdown made the score 7–6, but in the fourth quarter the Wolfpack put the game out of reach.

There was little enthusiasm as Florida departed for Athens, battered by injuries and demotions due to rule infractions. Florida lost to the Georgia Bulldogs 12–33.

In Chapel Hill, the Gators were defeated by the Tar Heels 13–18. The Tar Heels' Johnny Daniel returned the opening kickoff 95 yards.

SoCon champion Auburn defeated Florida 21–6. Jimmy Hitchcock was taken out of a game for the first time in his career.

Florida was the underdog going into the Georgia Tech game, losing 6–0.

Expected to be the hardest game since the beginning of the season, rival Tennessee beat Florida 13–32. Beattie Feathers scored after the opening kickoff.
