{{Short description|Former collegiate American football conference}}

The Illini–Badger Football Conference (IBFC) was an athletic conference with the NCAA's Division III. Member teams were located in Illinois and Wisconsin. As the name indicates, member teams only competed in football. They participated in other athletic conferences in other sports. The conference's last season was in 2007.

In 1989, the conference changed its name to the Illini–Badger–Hawkeye Football Conference and added four new members: Blackburn College in Carlinville, Illinois, Greenville College—now known as Greenville University—in Greenville, Illinois, MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois, and Iowa Wesleyan College—now known as Iowa Wesleyan University—in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.{{cite news |author= |title=Illini-Badger adds Hawkeye |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/wisconsin-state-journal/125379571/ |newspaper=Wisconsin State Journal |location=Madison, Wisconsin |date=August 28, 1989 |page=14, Football '89 section |access-date=May 26, 2023 |via=Newspapers.com {{Open access}} }}
