The 1975 San Diego Chargers season was the franchise's sixth season in the National Football League (NFL) and its 16th overall. The team were seeking to improve on their 5–9 record in 1974, but they lost their first eleven games amidst home attendances that dipped under 30,000.
San Diego were three losses from the league's first 0–14 season but averted that possibility with a week 12 win in Kansas City. They eventually finished 2–12, tied for the NFL's worst record and representing the worst mark in franchise history until the 2000 team went 1–15. The team suffered badly from injuries, most critically running back Don Woods, who had been AFC Rookie of the Year in 1974 but played only the first five games in this season. Quarterback Dan Fouts had a difficult campaign, throwing only two touchdowns in nine starts.
More positively, the Chargers draft class of 1975 was among their strongest, featuring many future starters. Defensive linemen Gary "Big Hands" Johnson, Louie Kelcher and Fred Dean would go on to form three quarters of San Diego's Bruise Brothers unit, with each of the three being named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press at least once during their careers. Other selections included defensive backs Mike Williams and Mike Fuller and tackle Billy Shields, each of whom would start at least 70 games for the Chargers.
