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. Despite an early season loss to Long Beach City College, CCSF claims the season as the first of 11 a junior college national championship for its football program.

Tackle Art Psaltis was a unanimous selection as a first-tea player on the 1946 all-NCJCC football team. Five others won first-team honors: fullback Marshall Leong; end Ray Poznekoff; halfback Art Ekdall; tackle Glen Smith; and guard Denny Miller. Four others received second-team honors: back Staten Webster; end Jim Cronn; guard Stan Belcher; and center John Didio.
