The 1927 Tufts Jumbos football team was an American football team that represented Tufts University of Somerville, Massachusetts, as an independent during the 1927 college football season. In their second year under head coach Arthur Sampson, the Jumbos compiled a perfect 8–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 218 to 19. On defense, they shut out five of eight opponents and gave up an average of only 2.4 points per game. Tufts was the only undefeated and untied team in the East.
Quarterback Fred "Fish" Ellis led the team in scoring with 80 points. Ellis was also rated as "a great punter" and a runner who "in the open field has few equals." Ellis later served as the head coach of Tufts' football team from 1946 to 1953.
Tufts has been playing college football since 1875. The 1927 team was one of only three in Tufts football history to complete a perfect season. The other two were the 1934 and 1979 Tufts football teams.
