The 2008 Georgetown Hoyas football team was an American football team that represented Georgetown University during the 2008 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Georgetown finished last in the Patriot League.

In their third year under head coach Kevin Kelly, the Hoyas compiled a 2–8 record. Daniel Matheny and Nicholas Umar were the team captains. [1]

The Hoyas were outscored 280 to 96. Their winless (0–5) conference record was the worst in the seven-team Patriot League standings. [2] The Hoyas played only five Patriot League games because their October 4 matchup with Colgate was canceled following a norovirus outbreak at Georgetown. [3]

Georgetown played its home games at Multi-Sport Field on the university campus in Washington, D.C.
