The 1939 San Jose State Spartans football team represented San Jose State College during the 1939 College Division football season.
San Jose State competed in the inaugural year of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). They had been an Independent for the previous four seasons, from 1935–1938. The team was led by head coach Dudley DeGroot, in his eighth year, and they played home games at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, California. They finished the season undefeated, as champions of the CCAA with a record of thirteen wins and no losses (13–0, 3–0 CCAA). The Spartans dominated their opponents, scoring 324 points for the season while giving up only 29, for an average score of 24–2. Only four opposing teams scored against the Spartans, never more than seven points, and eight teams were shutout.
Famed football coach Pop Warner was an advisory coach for the Spartans in 1939 and 1940, helping the team to a 24–1 record over the two seasons. The October 20th game vs. College of the Pacific marked the first time Warner had coached against Amos Alonzo Stagg since the two coaches had met in 1907, when Warner was coaching Carlisle and defeated Stagg's University of Chicago.
