The 1968 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado in the Big Eight Conference during the 1968 NCAA University Division football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Eddie Crowder, Colorado finished the regular season at 4–6 (3–4 in Big 8, fourth),^[1] and played their home games on campus at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.

Colorado featured eighteen sophomores on the two-deep depth chart and endured an up-and-down season, including the second straight win over Oklahoma in Boulder to improve to 4–2,^[2] but then lost four straight in November to conclude the season. The finale was the first loss to Air Force in five years; the Falcons finished at 7–3.^[3]

This was the Buffs' first losing season in four years; their next came five years later.
