1940 Georgetown Hoyas football team
The 1940 Georgetown Hoyas football team represented Georgetown University during the 1940 college football season. The Hoyas were led by ninth-year head coach Jack Hagerty and played their home games at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.. The team carried into the year a two-year, 16-game unbeaten streak, which ended at 23 games after a tightly contested loss to eventual co-national champion Boston College. Georgetown ended the regular season with a record of 8–1, ranked 13th in the AP Poll, the only ranked finish in Hoyas team history. They were invited to the 1941 Orange Bowl, where they lost to Mississippi State, 7–14.

The eight-game win streak ended when Georgetown met 8th-ranked St. Joseph's at the Palestra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hoyas had not beaten the Hawks since 1956, and they did not in this meeting, losing to St. Josephs 111-73. The lopsided loss halted the Hoyas momentum and they lost their next two games as well. They recovered to win their final three games, with a 20-point effort by Dennis Cesar against Seton Hall, 22 points including the winning shot in the final seconds by Gibbons against Fairfield, and back-to-back 28-point performances by Hollendoner in the final two games of the season against Fairfield and Canisius, giving them 11 wins in their last 14 games of the year. Although they won more games than any other Georgetown team had since the 1946-47 season, their 16-8 record – the best record of O'Keefes six-year tenure as head coach – was not enough for them to receive an invitation to a post-season tournament.
