The 1994 Wisconsin Badgers football team represented the University of Wisconsin during the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season. They were led by fifth year head coach Barry Alvarez and participated as members of the Big Ten Conference. The Badgers played their home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.

Wisconsin won consecutive postseason bowl games for the first time ever with a 34–20 win over Duke in the Hall of Fame Bowl. Wisconsin's 31–19 win over Michigan in 1994 was the last time Wisconsin won in the confines of Michigan Stadium, until the 2010 Badgers defeated Michigan, 48–28, in Ann Arbor.

Michigan State later forfeited its victory over Wisconsin after university president M. Peter McPherson had the Spartans self forfeited their wins from the 1994 season due to his claim of a "lack of institutional control".
