1931 All-Southwest Conference football team

The 1931 All-Southwest Conference football team consists of American football players chosen by various organizations for All-Southwest Conference teams for the 1931 college football season. The selectors for the 1931 season included the Associated Press (AP). The AP selected its All-Southwest Conference team with input from sports editors and writers.[1]

The 1931 SMU Mustangs football team was the conference champion with a record of 9–1–1 and placed four players on the first team. SMU halfback Weldon "Speedy" Mason was the only player to be unanimously selected.[1]

The TCU Horned Frogs and Texas Longhorns followed with three players each on the first team. TCU guard Johnny Vaught was selected on every ballot with only one exception.[1] Vaught later served as head football coach at Ole Miss from 1947 to 1970 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979.
