The 1968 small college football rankings are rankings of college football teams representing smaller college and university teams during the 1968 college football season, including the 1968 NCAA College Division football season and the 1968 NAIA football season. Separate rankings were published by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press International (UPI). The AP rankings were selected by a board of sports writers, and the UPI rankings were selected by a board of small-college coaches.

North Dakota State (10–0) and San Diego State were ranked as the top two teams: North Dakota State No. 1 by the AP and No. 2 by the UPI; and San Diego State No. 1 by the UPI and No. 2 by the AP. Chattanooga (9–1) and New Mexico Highlands (9–0) were ranked third and fourth, respectively, in both polls.
