The 1963 Colgate Red Raiders football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University as an independent during the 1963 NCAA University Division football season.
In its second consecutive season under head coach Hal Lahar (his seventh overall), the team compiled a 3–4–1 record.
[1] Only eight games were played, rather than the usual nine, because the Red Raiders' traditional season-ending matchup with Brown University, slated for Nov. 23, 1963, was canceled following the previous day's assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The team played its home games at Colgate Athletic Field in Hamilton, New York.
