The 1940 Lawrence Tech Blue Devils football team represented the Lawrence Institute of Technology of Highland Park, Michigan, as a member of the Michigan-Ontario Collegiate Conference (MOCC) during the 1940 college football season. In their third year under head coach Don Ridler,[1] the Blue Devils compiled a 6–3 record, tied for the MOCC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 147 to 96.[2]

Five Lawrence Tech players were selected by conference coaches to the MOCC all-conference first team: end Fred Dupke; tackle Walter Nowacki; guard Al Schrecke; halfback Harry Awdey; and halfback Jackie Coogan.[3]
