The 1946 San Francisco Junior College Rams football team was an American football team that represented San Francisco Junior College (SFJC), now known as City College of San Francisco (CCSF), as a member of the Northern California Junior College Conference (NCJCC) during the 1946 junior college football season. In their first year under head coach Grover Klemmer, the Rams compiled an 8–1 record and won the NCJCC championship.
