The 1969 Oakland Raiders season was the team's tenth as a franchise, and tenth in both Oakland and the American Football League. The campaign saw the team attempt to improve upon its 12–2 record from 1968. The season is notable for being the last for the AFL, which merged into the NFL in 1970.

The Raiders stormed to a 12–1–1 record in 1969 and led the league in wins for a third consecutive season.[1] In doing so, they posted a staggering 37–4–1 (.893) record over their final three years of AFL regular season play. The season ended with an upset loss at home in the AFL Championship Game to division rival Kansas City, the eventual Super Bowl champion.[2]

Additionally, the season marked the debut of Hall of Fame head coach John Madden, previously the linebacker coach,[3][4] promoted after the January departure of John Rauch for Buffalo.[5][6] Madden led the Raiders to seven division titles, seven AFL/AFC Championship Games, and a Super Bowl championship before leaving after 1978, his tenth as head coach, with a 112–39–7 (.731) regular season record.
