The 1979 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 1979 NCAA Division II football season. UC Davis competed in the Far Western Conference (FWC).
The Aggies were led by head coach Jim Sochor in his 10th year. They played home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the season as champion of the FWC for the 9th consecutive season and it was their 10th consecutive winning season. On the field, the Aggies finished the season with a record of six wins, three losses and one tie (6–3–1, 5–0 FWC). With the 5–0 conference record, they stretched their conference winning streak to 33 games dating back to the 1973 season. The Aggies outscored their opponents 217–155 for the 1979 season.
It was later determined that Cal Poly Pomona had used ineligible players during the season so they were required to forfeit all of their victories. One of those was the October 20 game against UC Davis, so the Aggies adjusted record becomes (7–2–1, 5–0 FWC).
The following UC Davis Aggies players were selected in the 1980 NFL Draft.
