The 1969 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game was the finals of the 1969 NCAA University Division basketball tournament and it determined the national champion for the 1968-69 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The game was played on March 22, 1969, at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. It featured the two-time defending national champion UCLA Bruins of the Pacific-8 Conference, and the Purdue Boilermakers of the Big Ten Conference.
