Rankings from AP Poll

The 1969 Cal Poly Mustangs football team represented California Polytechnic State University[note 1] during the 1969 College Division football season.

Cal Poly competed in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). For the 1969 season the CCAA changed significantly. Three schools left the conference and moved up to the University Division in the new Pacific Coast Athletic Association. Those schools were Fresno State, Cal State Long Beach, and Cal State Los Angeles. They were replaced in 1969 by Cal Poly Pomona and UC Riverside and in 1970 by Cal State Fullerton.

The team was led by second-year head coach Joe Harper and played home games at Mustang Stadium in San Luis Obispo, California. They finished the season as CCAA champion, with a record of six wins and four losses (6–4, 2–0 CCAA). This would begin a streak of five consecutive CCAA championships for the Mustangs.
