The 1970 Soviet Class A Second Group was the 10th season at the third tier of football competitions in the Soviet Union.

The competitions consisted of three groups, winners of which gained direct promotion to the 1971 Soviet First League. Those were Metallurg Zaporozhye, Shinnik Yaroslavl, and Kuzbass Kemerevo.

In addition to that there was conducted a side tournament for the Russian SFSR clubs for the republican title. Only two best teams of the Russian SFSR from Groups 2 and 3 qualified for that competition. At same time Metallurg Zaporozhye was honored as the Champion of the Ukrainian SSR by the Football Federation of the Ukrainian SSR.[1]
