The 1946 Cal Aggies football team represented the Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture[note 1] in the 1953 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 did not play in the 1943 to 1945 seasons due to World War II. In this first post-war season, the Aggies were again led by head coach Vern Hickey in his seventh season. They played home games at A Street field on campus in Davis, California. The Aggies finished winless, with a record of zero wins, five losses and two ties (0–5–2, 0–1–1 FWC). They were outscored by their opponents 54–113 for the 1946 season.
