The 1929 Tulane Green Wave football team was an American football team that represented Tulane University as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1929 college football season. In its third year under head coach Bernie Bierman, who used the single wing, Tulane compiled a perfect 9–0 record (6–0 in conference games), won the SoCon championship, shut out five of nine opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 297 to 45.

Halfback and team captain Bill Banker, known as the "Blonde Blizzard", was selected as a first-team All-American by the All-America Board of Football, consisting of coaches Knute Rockne, "Pop" Warner, Tad Jones and Bill Alexander. Four Tulane players received All-Southern honors from the Associated Press (AP): Banker and center Loyd Roberts were first team; end Jerry Dalrymple and guard Maury Bodenger were second team.

The team played its home games at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans.
