The 1969 Montana Grizzlies football team represented the University of Montana in the 1969 NCAA College Division football season as a member of the Big Sky Conference (Big Sky). The Grizzlies were led by third-year head coach Jack Swarthout and played their home games at Dornblaser Field.

In a significant turnaround from the previous year, Montana won all ten games in the regular season (4–0 Big Sky, champions).[1] They met undefeated North Dakota State in the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento in December, but lost 30–3.[2] Released prior to the game, both final polls had NDSU first and Montana second.[3]
