The 1955 Northern Branch Aggies football team represented the Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture in the 1955 college football season. Normally referred to as the "Cal Aggies", they competed in the Far Western Conference (FWC).

The Aggies were led by head coach Ted Forbes in his sixth and last season as head coach. This was his second tenure as head coach, having previously been at the helm from 1949 to 1953. They played home games at Toomey Field. The Aggies finished the season with a record of five wins, three losses and one tie (5–3–1, 3–1–1 FWC). They outscored their opponents 128–79 for the 1955 season.

In six years under coach Forbes, Northern Branch compiled a record of 21–29–2 (15–5–2 FWC). That's an overall winning percentage of .423. His teams won the FWC conference title in 1949 and 1951 and appeared in a post-season bowl game both times.

No Northern Branch (Cal Aggies) players were selected in the 1956 NFL Draft.
