The 1940 Stanford Indians football team nicknamed the Wow Boys represented Stanford University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) intercollegiate competition during the 1940 season. First-year head coach Clark Shaughnessy inherited a team that finished with a 1–7–1 record the previous season. He installed his own version of the T formation a system that had largely fallen into disuse since the 1890s and was viewed as obsolete.
