The 2019 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon during the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was led by second-year head coach Mario Cristobal. Oregon played their home games at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks competed as members of the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference.

Oregon started the year with a neutral-site game against Auburn in Arlington, Texas, where they lost, 27–21. The Ducks won their next nine games before being upset on the road by Arizona State, effectively knocking them out of contention for the College Football Playoff. With a regular season record of 10–2 (8–1 in Pac-12 play), Oregon represented the North Division in the Pac-12 Championship Game, where they defeated South Division champion and fifth-ranked Utah, 37–15, to win their first conference title since 2014. They received an invitation to the Rose Bowl, where they defeated Big Ten Conference runner-up Wisconsin, 28–27. Oregon was ranked fifth in the season's final AP Poll.

Oregon's offense was led by senior quarterback Justin Herbert, who passed for 3,471 yards and 34 touchdowns. Running back C. J. Verdell led the team in rushing with 1,220 yards and eight touchdowns. Offensive tackle Penei Sewell was a unanimous All-American and was the recipient of the Outland Trophy as the nation's best lineman on either side of the ball. Defensively, the team's leading tackler was linebacker Troy Dye, who was named second-team all-conference.
