Co-national champion (Davis) The 1930 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team was an American football team that represented the University of Notre Dame as an independent during the 1930 college football season. In their 13th and final season under head coach Knute Rockne, the Fighting Irish compiled a perfect 10–0 record and outscored their opponents by a total of 256 to 74 with three shutouts.

The Dickinson System ranked Notre Dame No. 1 with 25.13 points, ahead of No. 2 Washington State (20.44) and No. 3 Alabama (20.18). Later analyses also rated Notre Dame as the 1930 national champion, including Billingsley Report, Boand System, Dunkel System, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System, National Championship Foundation, Parke H. Davis, and Poling System.

The new Notre Dame Stadium made its debut on October 4; it was dedicated the next week. The closest game was a one-point win in late November over previously undefeated Army; the Irish won the annual rivalry game, 7–6, at Soldier Field in Chicago with over 100,000 in attendance. A week later in Los Angeles, Notre Dame shut out once-beaten USC, 27–0, for their 19th consecutive victory.

Two Notre Dame players, quarterback Frank Carideo and halfback Marchy Schwartz, were consensus first-team players on the 1930 All-America college football team. Other Notre Dame players receiving 1930 All-America honors included guard Bert Metzger (first-team selection by the Associated Press and United Press); halfback Marty Brill (first-team selection by the All-America Board); end Tom Conley (second-team selection by the Associated Press, United Press, and Newspaper Enterprise Association); fullback Joe Savoldi (second-team selection by the Associated Press); and tackle Al Culver (second-team selection by the United Press).

Four months after the season ended, on March 31, 1931, Rockne and seven others were killed when a Transcontinental and Western Airline plane crashed in Kansas as Rockne traveled from Kansas City to California.
