The 1940 Mississippi College Choctaws football team was an American football team that represented Mississippi College as a member of the Dixie Conference and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) during the 1940 college football season. In their 16th year under head coach Stanley L. Robinson, the Choctaws compiled a 5–1–1 overall record. Against Dixie Conference opponents, they had a 3–0–1 record and tied with Chattanooga for the conference championship. They were 2–0 against SIAA opponents, but did not play enough conference games to qualify for the SIAA championship.
With 61 points (nine touchdowns and seven points after touchdown), the Choctaws' fullback Charlie Armstrong led the Dixie Conference in scoring. His longest scoring play was a 59-yard run against Spring Hill.
Mississippi College was ranked at No. 78 (out of 687 teams) in the final rankings under the Litkenhous Difference by Score System for 1940.
