The 1936 San Francisco State States football team represented San Francisco State College—now known as
San Francisco State University—as an independent during the
1936 college football season. Led by second-year co-head coaches
Dan Farmer and
Hal Hardin, San Francisco State compiled a record of 2–3–1 and was outscored by its opponents 106 to 41. The team played home games at a new stadium in 1936, Roberts Field in
San Francisco. Although the "Gator" was voted to be the mascot for the team in 1931, local newspaper articles called the team the "Staters" from 1935 through 1940.
