Rankings from AP Poll

The 1942 Montana Grizzlies football team represented the University of Montana in the 1942 college football season as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC).

Clyde Carpenter led the Grizzlies in his only season as head coach; they played their three home games on campus in Missoula at Dornblaser Field and lost all eight games (0–6 in PCC, last),[1] shut out in the final five, all in conference.

Montana was ranked at No. 272 (out of 590 college and military teams) in the final rankings under the Litkenhous Difference by Score System for 1942.[2]

With manpower shortages due to World War II, Montana's football program went on hiatus after this season and resumed play in 1945.
