The 1970 Sonoma State Cossacks football team represented Sonoma State during the 1970 College Division football season. In their first season as a varsity team, Sonoma State competed as an independent in 1970. They would join the Far Western Conference (FWC) in 1971.

The 1970 Cossacks were led by first-year head coach Carl Peterson. As their campus did not then have a stadium suitable for spectators, home games were played at Bailey Field at Santa Rosa Junior College.[note 1] Sonoma State finished the season with a record of four wins, four losses and one tie (4–4–1). The Cossacks were outscored by their opponents 157–210 for the season.
