The 2019 San Jose State Spartans football team represented San Jose State University in the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Spartans were led by third year coach Brent Brennan and played their home games at CEFCU Stadium. San Jose State was a member of the Mountain West Conference in the West Division.[1] They finished the season 5–7, 2–6 in Mountain West play to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place in the West Division.

On June 5, 2019, San Jose State broke ground on its new Football Operations Building. The first phase of the project involved replacing the bleachers on the east side of the stadium with grass, which reduced the seating capacity by 8,936.[2] It will be demolished and rebuilt along with the new Football Operations Building by 2023.

On September 21, 2019, San Jose State beat Arkansas for its first win over a Power 5 opponent since 2006.[3] This was also San Jose State's first ever win over an opponent from the Southeastern Conference.
