The 1929 VFL season was the 33rd season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured twelve clubs and ran from 27 April to 28 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top four clubs.
Collingwood won the premiership, defeating Richmond by 29 points in the 1929 VFL grand final; it was Collingwood's third consecutive premiership and eighth VFL premiership overall. Collingwood also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with an 18–0 win–loss record, the only time in the league's history that a team has gone through a home-and-away season undefeated, however its loss to Richmond in the semi-finals prevented the club from achieving a perfect season. Collingwood's Albert Collier won the Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, and teammate Gordon Coventry won his fourth consecutive leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkicker, becoming the first player to kick over 100 goals in a season.
