The 1971 Oakland Raiders season was the team's 12th season. The Raiders failed to make the playoffs as their main rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, won the division title.
This was the only season between 1966 and 1977 in which the Raiders did not win the AFL/AFC West title.
This would be the final season where Wayne Valley was the majority owner of the Raiders the next season, he would be pushed out in favor general manager Al Davis who by 1976 bought out the remaining shares from Valley to become the sole owner.
