The UNLV Rebels football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UNLV Rebels football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Rebels represent the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the NCAA Division I FBS Mountain West Conference (MW).

UNLV began competing in intercollegiate football in 1968. This is recent enough that, unlike most college football teams, there is no "pre-modern" era without complete statistics. However, these lists are still dominated by more recent players for several reasons: Since 1968, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length. Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002. The Rebels have played in three bowl games since this decision—in the 2013, 2023, and 2024 seasons, and are assured of a fourth bowl game in 2025. From 2013 to 2023, UNLV was grouped in the same MW football division as Hawaii, meaning that it played at Hawaii every other year during that time. This is relevant because the NCAA allows teams that play at Hawaii in a given season to schedule 13 regular-season games instead of the normal 12. Before divisional play began, UNLV scheduled 13 regular-season games in two seasons that it visited Hawaii—in 2010, before Hawaii joined MW football, and 2012, when Hawaii had joined but the league had yet to split into divisions. Since divisional play began, UNLV has played 13 regular-season games once, in 2014 (it was eligible to do so in 2016, but chose not to). The MW has played a championship game since 2013. The Rebels played in that game in 2023, 2024, and 2025, giving players in those seasons yet another game to accumulate statistics. Since 2018, players have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt. Since 2024, postseason games (including conference championship games) have not counted against the four-game limit. These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics. Due to COVID-19 disruptions, the NCAA did not count the 2020 season against the eligibility of any football player, giving all players active in that season five years of eligibility instead of the normal four.

These lists are updated through the 2025 MW Championship Game. Players active for UNLV in 2025 are in bold.
