The 1954 Pepperdine Waves football team represented George Pepperdine College—now known as Pepperdine University as member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) during the 1954 college football season. Led by second-year head coach Gordon McEachron, the Waves compiled an overall record of 6–2. Pepperdine went 1–2 against conference opponents, but did not play a full conference schedule, and thus those games did not count in the CCAA standings.[1] The team played home games at El Camino Stadium on the campus of El Camino College in Torrance, California.
