The 1935 New Mexico A&M Aggies football team was an American football team that represented New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (now known as New Mexico State University) as a member of the Border Conference during the 1935 college football season. In their seventh year under head coach Jerry Hines, the team compiled a 7–1–2 record, finished second in the conference, played Hardin–Simmons to a tie in the 1936 Sun Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 210 to 42.[2][3] The team played its six home games at Quesenberry Field in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Three of the Aggies' players were selected to the 1935 All-Border Conference football team: halfback Lauro Apodaca; guard Anthony George; and halfback Lem Pratt.[4]
