The 1963 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1963 college football season. The Vandals were led by second-year head coach Dee Andros and were an independent in the NCAA's University Division. Home games were played on campus at Neale Stadium in Moscow, with one home game in Boise at old Bronco Stadium at Boise Junior College.

Led on the field by quarterbacks Gary Mires and Mike Monahan, Idaho compiled a 5–4 record for the program's first winning season in a quarter century, since 1938 under head coach Ted Bank. The victory over Fresno State was their first opening game win wince 1950. All five Vandal wins came in Idaho, played in three different regions of the state.

The Vandals suffered a ninth straight loss in the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, falling 14–10 at Rogers Field in Pullman on November 2. The difference was a fourth quarter Cougar touchdown on a kickoff return. The rivalry game with Montana for the Little Brown Stein was not played this year or the next.
