The 1941 Chicago Cardinals season was the 22nd season the team was in the league. The team improved on their previous output of 2–7–2, winning three games. They failed to qualify for the playoffs for the 16th consecutive season.

The last game of the season, a home game against the defending (and eventual 1941) champion Chicago Bears, was one of three NFL games played on Sunday, December 7, 1941 as the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. As was the case at the Polo Grounds (site of the Brooklyn-New York game) and Griffith Stadium (site of the Eagles-Redskins game), no official announcement was made, though newsboys were hawking extras outside the stadium as the nearly 19,000 fans at the game exited Comiskey Park.
