Rankings from NCAA Division II Football Committee poll

The 1999 Northeastern State Redmen football team represented Northeastern State University during the 1999 NCAA Division II football season as members of the Lone Star Conference. This was the 89th season of Redmen football. The Redmen played their home games at Gable Field in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, which has been Central's home stadium since 1964. The team was led by head coach Tom Eckert in his 11th season. The Redmen finished the regular season with an 8–3 record and a share of the Lone Star Conference (LSC) Championship.

The team made the deepest NCAA playoff run in school history (as of the end of the 2025 season). In just its third season after joining NCAA Division II from the NAIA, NSU advanced to its first NCAA Division II football championship, where it defeated fellow first-time participants Western Washington, 27–24 in overtime, in the first round. In the second round, NSU hosted and defeated UC Davis, 19–14; UC Davis was appearing in its fourth consecutive Division II playoff, and reached the semifinals in both 1996 and 1997. Northeastern State's playoff run ended in the national semifinals, where it lost 42–7 at defending national runners-up Carson–Newman.
