The 1969 Wyoming Cowboys football team represented the University of Wyoming in the 1969 NCAA University Division football season. Led by eighth-year head coach Lloyd Eaton, they were members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and played their home games on campus at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.

The Cowboys were three-time defending conference champions. They compiled a record of 6-4 (4-3 against conference opponents), finished fourth in the WAC, and outscored their opponents 242 to 118. Wyoming won its first six games, but lost the last four in a season tainted by a racial controversy.
