South Florida Bulls football statistical leaders

The South Florida Bulls football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the South Florida Bulls 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 Bulls represent the University of South Florida in the NCAA's American Athletic Conference.

South Florida began competing in intercollegiate football in 1997,^[1] so the typical issues with school records do not exist. There is no period of the late 19th and early 20th century with spotty, incomplete records. Therefore Bulls' records are also not affected by the lengthening of the season to 12 games over the years, the 1972 NCAA decision to allow freshmen to play varsity football, or the 2002 NCAA decision^[2] to count bowl games in players' official statistics.

The lists below are updated through the end of the 2015 season.
