The 1937 Little All-America college football team is composed of college football players from small colleges and universities who were selected by the Associated Press (AP) as the best players at each position. For 1937, the AP did not select a second team but instead chose multiple players for "honorable mention" at each position. The AP also tightened its Little All-America classification, limiting the selections to players at schools with enrollment of not more than 1,000 boys and a football schedule "largely confined to colleges of the same class."{{cite news|title=Little Star Team Chosen|newspaper=The Baltimore Sun|date=December 10, 1937|page=17|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88677137/little-star-team-chosen/|via=Newspapers.com}}
