The 1975 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University as a member of the Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) during the 1975 NCAA Division I football season. In their 11th and final year under head coach Dee Andros, the Beavers were compiled an overall record of 1–10 with a mark of 1–6 in conference play, placing seventh in the Pac-10. Oregon State played three home games were played on campus at Parker Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon and two at Civic Stadium in Portland.

Following an eighth straight loss to open the season, Andros announced his resignation in early November, effective at the end of the season.[1] Oregon State's only win came the following week, 7–0 over Washington State in a land-grant cellar matchup in Parker Stadium. In the season finale Civil War against Oregon at Eugene, the Beavers lost for the first time at Autzen Stadium.

Andros stepped down and became the OSU athletic director in late November,[2][3] and retired a decade later in 1985. Craig Fertig, a 33-year-old USC assistant and former Trojan quarterback, was hired as the Beavers' head coach in December, with a three-year contract at $26,000 per year.[4][5]
