The 1969 Colgate Red Raiders football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University as an independent during the 1969 NCAA University Division football season. In its second season under head coach Neil Wheelwright, the team compiled a 4–5 record. Alan Klumpp was the team captain.[1]

The Red Raiders scheduled 10 games,[2] but only played nine, as Holy Cross canceled its trip to Hamilton after a hepatitis outbreak on the Crusader team.[3]

The team played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
