The 1972 Cal State Los Angeles Diablos football team represented California State University, Los Angeles during the 1972 University Division football season.
The Diablos were members of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association in 1972, but they had downgraded their football program to the point where they no longer qualified as a University Division team. The two games they played against PCAA teams (losses to Fresno State and Pacific) did not count in the conference standings. [note 1]
The Diablos were led by Foster Anderson in his second year as head coach. The team played home games at the Campus Stadium. They finished the season with a record of three wins and seven losses (3–7). The Diablos were outscored 155–257 for the season.
