1959 Air Force Falcons football team

The 1959 Air Force Falcons football team represented the United States Air Force Academy as an independent during the 1959 NCAA University Division football season. Led by second-year head coach Ben Martin, the Falcons played their home games at DU Stadium in Denver and Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. They outscored their opponents 160–124 and finished the season with a record of 5–4–1.

This marked the first year that the Falcons faced Army, resulting in a respectable 13–13 tie before a crowd of 67,000 at Yankee Stadium in New York City on Halloween. The two academies traditionally met in odd-numbered years (except for 1961) until 1971 and have played annually in the competition (with Navy) for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which was first awarded in 1972.

After the Army game, the Falcons held a record of 4–1–1, but they experienced a downturn in November, losing three out of four games.
