The 1994 Wisconsin Badgers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wisconsin–Madison as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their fifth year under head coach Barry Alvarez, the Badgers compiled an 8–3–1 record (5–2–1 in conference games), finished in third place in the Big Ten, and outscored their opponents by a total of 323 to 218. Against ranked opponents, they lost to No. 7 Colorado and defeated No. 25 Indiana and No. 10 Michigan. They concluded the season with a 34–20 victory over No. 25 Duke in the Hall of Fame Bowl. It was the first time in program history that the Badgers won consecutive postseason bowl games. They were unranked in the final AP and Coaches polls.
The team's statistical leaders for all games, including the bowl game, were quarterback Darrell Bevell (1,544 passing yards, 60.2% completion percentage), running back Terrell Fletcher (1,476 rushing yards, 6.0 yards per carry, 80 points scored), wide receiver Tony Simmons (588 receiving yards, 26.7-yard average), and linebacker Pete Monty (131 total tackles). Fletcher was selected as the team's most valuable player. Center Cory Raymer was a consensus first-team selection on the 1994 All-America team. Five Badgers received first-team honors from the Associated Press on the 1994 All-Big Ten team: Raymer; guard Joe Rudolph; tackle Mike Verstegen; defensive lineman Mike Thompson; and defensive back Jeff Messenger.
The team played its home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
