The 1970 Washington Huskies football team was an American football team that represented the University of Washington in the Pacific-8 Conference during the 1970 NCAA University Division football season. Led by fourteenth-year head coach Jim Owens, the Huskies compiled a 6–4 record (4–3 in Pac-8, tied for second),[1] and outscored their opponents 334 to 216.[2]

The Huskies were led on the field by sophomore quarterback Sonny Sixkiller,[3][4] who set numerous team records.[5] Fullback Bo Cornell and defensive tackle Tom Failla were the team captains.

This was the final year of a ten-game schedule for Washington; the other seven teams in the Pac-8 played eleven games.[6]
