The 1961 Evergreen Conference football season was the season of college football played by the six member schools of the Evergreen Conference (EC) as part of the 1961 college football season.
The 1961 Central Washington Wildcats football team, led by head coach Adrian L. Beamer, compiled a 7–2 record (6–1 in conference games) and won the Evergreen Conference championship. Junior Phil Fitterer won all-conference honors at both quarterback and safety.
The 1961 Whitworth Pirates football team, led by head coach Sam Adams, compiled a 9-1 record (7-1 in conference games) but were ineligible for the championship, having been placed on probation because the track team had allowed an ineligible student to compete in preseason track meets. Whitworth end John Murio led all small college players in scoring (129 points scored) and receiving yards (811). Quarterback Dennis Spurlock led the country (both major and small colleges) with 1,760 yards of total offense and also ranked second nationally with 1,708 passing yards.
Western Washington and Central Washington dominated the 1961 Evergreen all-conference team, taking with ten and eight spots, respectively.
