The 1941 DePauw Tigers football team was an American football team that represented DePauw University as a member of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference (IIC) during the 1941 college football season. In its 12th season under head coach Ray "Gaumy" Neal, the team compiled a 6–2 record.
The team played its home games at the newly constructed Ira B. Blackstock Memorial Stadium in Greencastle, Indiana. The stadium was built at a cost of $80,000. The stadium was a gift from the widow of Ira B. Blackstock, a DePauw alumnus and university trustee who died in 1931.
Four DePauw players were selected by The Indianapolis News to its All-Indiana college football teams: guard George Crane (1st team); back Arthur Lavidge (2nd team); tackle James Highland (3rd team); and back Mike Melinki (3rd team).
