The 1935 Baldwin–Wallace Yellow Jackets football team was an American football team that represented Baldwin–Wallace University as a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) during the 1935 college football season. In their eighth year under head coach Ray E. Watts, the Yellow Jackets compiled a 9–1 record (8–0 against conference opponents), won the OAC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 438 to 57.[1]

With 438 points scored (43.8 points per game), Baldwin-Wallace was the highest scoring team in the nation.[2] The 381-point delta between points scored and points allowed was the highest in Baldwin-Wallace program history.[3]
