The 1992 Wisconsin–La Crosse Eagles football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse as a member of the Wisconsin State University Conference (WSUC) during the 1992 NCAA Division III football season. In their 24th season under head coach Roger Harring, the Eagles compiled a 12–0–1 record and won the WSUC championship. They advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs, defeating Redlands in the first round, Central (Iowa) in the quarterfinals, Mount Union in the semifinals, and Washington & Jefferson in the Stagg Bowl to win the Division III national championship.
Harring suffered a heart attack on October 7. Longtime assistant coach Roland Christensen took over as interim head coach and led the team to a 5-0-1 record during Harring's illness. Harring and Christensen were named WSUC co-caches of the year. Nine La Crosse players received first-team honors on the All-WSUC honors: junior quarterback Jason Gonnion; junior running back John Janke; senior wide receiver Jason Janke; junior center Dave Bauer; sernior offensive guard Knute Brye; junior defensive tackle Rick Schaaf; senior linebacker Mike Breit; and senior cornerback Norris Thomas.
