The 1969 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 32nd year with the National Football League and the 24th season in Los Angeles. The Rams were led by fourth-year head coach George Allen. This season saw the Rams attempting to improve on their 10–3–1 record from 1968, in which they barely missed the playoffs by a game. The Rams improved on that record by a mere game, winning their first eleven and finishing at 11–3 to win the Coastal Division and qualify for the playoffs.

The Rams lost to the Minnesota Vikings 23–20 in the conference playoff game, then shut out the Dallas Cowboys 31–0 in the final edition of the third-place Playoff Bowl.

Two members of the Rams' coaching staff were later inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: head coach Allen and special teams coach Dick Vermeil. Vermeil later won Super Bowl XXXIV with the Rams and was also the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
