The 1999 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 1999 NCAA Division II football season. They played as a Division II independent in 1999. They would stay an independent until 2004 when they became a charter member of the Great West Conference (GWC).

The 1999 Aggies were led by seventh-year head coach Bob Biggs and played their home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the regular season with a record of nine wins and one loss (9–1). This was the 30th consecutive year UC Davis finished with a winning record.

At the end of the season the Aggies were ranked #5 and were invited to the Division II playoffs for the fourth year in a row. In the first round they defeated 18th-ranked Central Oklahoma at their home stadium in Davis, California. In the second round (quarterfinal) they again played in their home stadium, but were upset by Northeastern State. That brought the Aggies final record to ten wins and two losses (10–2). The Aggies outscored their opponents 393–233 for the season.
