Permissions and credits
Using a BSA unpacker, open Skyrim\data\Skyrim - Interface.bsa and find interface\controls\pc\controlmap.txt. This file dictates what key is used for each function in the game. All you have to do is unpack this into Skyrim\Data\Interface\Controls\PC, then open the new controlmap.txt and find the line for Console under the // Main Gameplay section and change its first value to "0xff,0xff", then find the line for Console under the // Menu Mode section and change its first value to "0xff" . This will completely null the function for opening the console. When you next start up the game, the key which normally opens the console will now do nothing. Woo! No more superpowers!

Or if you're lazy and/or can't get it to work, and as long as you're not already using a modified controlmap.txt, you can just use the included controlmap.txt and place it into Skyrim\Data\Interface\Controls\PC. You may have to make these folders yourself if they don't exist already.

A plus side to this method is that you can still use an Xbox 360 controller without issues!

I just decided to share this because it always bugged me that there's ways to disable the console easily in Morrowind and Oblivion, but not in Skyrim.
