1974 All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team

The 1974 All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team consists of American football players chosen by the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association (ACS) as the best at each position in Atlantic Coast Conference ("ACC") during the 1974 college football season.

The 1974 Maryland Terrapins football team won the 1974 ACC championship and led all other teams with six players selected as first-team players on the ACC team. Clemson and NC State each placed four players on the first team.[1]

Two players were selected unanimously by all 123 voters: running back Stan Fritts of NC State and defensive tackle Randy White of Maryland. White broke the ACC career records for points and touchdowns.[2] White also won the 1974 Outland Trophy, played 14 seasons in the National Football League, and was inducted into the College and Pro Football Hall of Fames.
