The 1941 Los Angeles City Cubs football team was an American football team that represented Los Angeles City College (LACC) as a member of the Metropolitan Conference during the 1941 junior college football season. In their 11th year under head coach Glenn Ackerman, the Cubs compiled a perfect 10–0 record, won the Metropolitan Conference championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 253 to 84.[1][2] It was the first perfect season in LACC program history.[3]

Halfback Jackie Fellows was the leading scorer in the Metropolitan Conference;[4] he was named junior college player of year by the all-Southern California Board of Football.[5] Fellows and two other LACC players were selected as first-team players on the all-Metropolitan Conference football team. The others were Johnny Beauchamp and Rex Schroder.[6] Fellows and Beauchamp were also selected as first-team players on the all-state junior college football team; Fellows was selected unanimously.[7]

The team played its home games at LACC's Snyder Field (capacity 6,500), but the final game against Sacramento City College was moved to Gilmore Stadium due to the high demand for seats.[8]
