The 1969 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Carlton Football Club and Richmond Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 27 September 1969.

The match, attended by 119,165 spectators, was won by Richmond by a margin of 25 points, marking that club's seventh premiership victory.
