The 1944 Fresno State Bulldogs football team represented Fresno State Normal School—now known as California State University, Fresno—as an independent during the 1944 college football season. Fresno State had been a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) in 1941, but the conference suspended operations during World War II. Since many colleges did not field a team in 1944, the Bulldogs played primarily against junior colleges and military teams. Led by first-year head coach Earl Wight, the Bulldogs compiled a record of 0–6 and were outscored 95 to 18 for the season. Fresno State played home games at Ratcliffe Stadium on the campus of Fresno City College in Fresno, California.
