The 1969 Kansas Jayhawks football team represented the University of Kansas in the Big Eight Conference during the 1969 NCAA University Division football season.
In the previous season, Kansas tied Oklahoma for the Big Eight championship, the Jayhawks' most recent conference title as of 2023.
They met undefeated Penn State in the Orange Bowl, but lost by a point, 15–14.
Kansas was hit hard by graduation, including quarterback Bobby Douglass and defensive end John Zook, who were NFL starters as rookies in 1969 with the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons, respectively.
Rival Missouri wrapped up the Big Eight championship with a 69–21 rout at Lawrence in the last game played on natural grass at Memorial Stadium.
