The Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers football program represents Kentucky Wesleyan College in college football as an Independent at the NCAA Division II level. The college's football program began in 1907, lasting until 1930, when it was discontinued due to financial reasons. In 1982, the decision was made to re-establish a football program at the school, with the school resuming football operations the following year. Initially, the Panthers were an NCAA Division III team, unaffiliated with any conference. They moved into Division II beginning with the 1994 football season.
