The 1981 Cal Poly Pomona Broncos football team represented California State Polytechnic University, Pomona as a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) during the 1981 NCAA Division II football season.
Led by second-year head coach Roman Gabriel, Cal Poly Pomona compiled an overall record of 4–7 with a mark of 1–1 in conference play, placing second in the CCAA.
The Broncos played home games at Kellogg Field in Pomona, California.
This was the last season for that the CCAA sponsored football.
All three football members (Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly, and Cal State Northridge) moved their programs to the new Western Football Conference (WFC) in 1982.
