The 1968 Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 37th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 32nd in Washington, D.C. In their third and final year under head coach Otto Graham, the team finished 5–9, failing to improve on their 5–6–3 record from 1967.

With two years remaining on a five-year contract (and an option for another five years), Graham was displaced by Vince Lombardi in early February 1969.[1][2]
