The 1936 Cal Aggies football team represented the Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture[note 1] in the 1936 college football season. The team was known as either the Cal Aggies or California Aggies, and competed in the Far Western Conference (FWC).[note 2]

The Aggies were led by head coach Irv "Crip" Toomey in his ninth, and last year at the helm. They played home games at A Street field on campus in Davis, California. The Aggies finished with a record of four wins and four losses (3–4, 1–2 FWC). The Aggies were outscored by their opponents 86–115 for the 1936 season.

In the nine years under coach Toomey, the Aggies compiled a record of 24–42–8, for a winning percentage of .378. Toomey also served as the head basketball coach for the same nine years. In addition, he was the Athletic Director for the school from 1928 until his death in 1961. To honor his long contribution to the school, the football stadium was renamed Toomey Field in 1962.
