The 2005 Florida State Seminoles football team represented Florida State University during the 2005 NCAA Division I-A football season. The team was coached by Bobby Bowden and played their home games at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. They were members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and competed in the Atlantic Division. The Seminoles won their division and competed in the ACC title game, defeating Virginia Tech in the inaugural championship game.

The Seminoles recruiting class was ranked No. 2 in the nation behind only Southern California by Rivals.com, but never panned out. On a reevaluation in 2012, Rivals.com listed it among the most disappointing recruiting classes of the decade.
