The 1975 UCR Highlanders football team represented the University of California, Riverside as a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) during the 1975 NCAA Division II football season.
Led by second-year head coach Bob Toledo, UC Riverside compiled an overall record of 7–3 with a mark of 4–0 in conference play, winning the CCAA title.
Despite winning the conference championship for the second consecutive year and for the third time in four seasons, UC Riverside announced, on December 4, 1975, that they were discontinuing their football program.
They primary reason given was lack of fan support attendance.
Dan Bunz and Calvin Sweeney transferred to other colleges as a result of the disbanding of the UC Riverside football program then were drafted out of that new school.
