The 1972 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1972 college football season. The Vandals were led by third-year head coach Don Robbins and were members of the Big Sky Conference, then in the college division of the NCAA. They played their home games at new Idaho Stadium, an unlit outdoor facility on campus in Moscow, Idaho.

With quarterbacks Rick Seefried, Dave Comstock, and Ross Goddard running the offense, the Vandals were defending Big Sky champions. They were 4–7 overall and 2–3 in the Big Sky in 1972.

In the Battle of the Palouse, Idaho suffered a fifth straight loss to neighbor Washington State of the Pac-8, falling 35–14 at the new Martin Stadium in Pullman on October 7.

In their second game with new rival Boise State, the Vandals won 22–21 in the rain at Bronco Stadium on November 25 to even up the series; Idaho did not schedule Northern Arizona until 1975 and played only five games in conference.
