The University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame is a sports hall of fame on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. Located just northeast of Memorial Stadium, the hall of fame honors athletes and coaches of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

There is no set criteria for induction aside from "continuing the tradition of excellence at Nebraska."[1] Since inducting an inaugural class of twenty-two athletes – one representing each of NU's varsity sports – in 2015, the hall has inducted between five and seven athletes and coaches each spring. Inductees are selected by a panel of staff members and former student-athletes.[1]
