Northern Illinois Huskies football statistical leaders

The Northern Illinois Huskies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Northern Illinois Huskies football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Huskies represent Northern Illinois University in the NCAA's Mid-American Conference.

Although Northern Illinois began competing in intercollegiate football in 1899,[1] the school's official record book does not generally include statistics from earlier than the 1950s, as records before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
