The 1900 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska as an independent during the 1900 college football season. Led by first-year head coach Walter C. Booth, the Cornhuskers compiled a record of 6–1–1, excluding two exhibition games. Nebraska played home games at Antelope Field in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Booth replaced the departed Alonzo Edwin Branch to become Nebraska's ninth coach in 11 seasons of football. This was the first season the team was officially known as the "Cornhuskers", adopting the moniker after it was coined by Cy Sherman of the Nebraska State Journal.
