The 1979 Fresno State Bulldogs football team represented California State University, Fresno as a member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) during the 1979 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by Bob Padilla in his second and final season as head coach, Fresno State compiled an overall record of 4–7 with a mark of 2–3 in conference play, placing fourth in the PCAA. While Fresno State lost to San Jose State, the game was subsequently forfeited by the Spartans due to the use of an ineligible player. As a result, Fresno State's record was adjusted to 5–6 overall and 3–2 in conference play, moving them into a tie for second place in the PCAA.[1]
