The 1955 Washington and Lee Generals football team was an American football team that represented the Washington and Lee University as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1955 college football season. Led by first-year head coach Bill Chipley, the Generals compiled an overall record of 0–7 with a mark of 0–1 in conference play, placing last out of ten teams in the SoCon.
