The 1932 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State College in the Pacific Coast Conference during the 1932 college football season. In its seventh season under head coach Babe Hollingbery, the team compiled a 7–1–1 record (5–1–1 in PCC, runner-up), shut out six of nine opponents, and outscored all opponents 130 to 28.[1][2]

Halfback George Sander of Spokane was selected by the Associated Press (AP), United Press (UP), and Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) as a first-team player on the All-Coast team.[3][4][5] Out of North Central High School, Sander was also selected by the AP and NEA as a second-team halfback, and by the UP as a third-team halfback, on the All-America team.[6][7][8]
