The 1979 Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks football team represented the University of Maryland Eastern Shore as a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) during the 1979 NCAA Division II football season. Led by first-year head coach Tyrone Caldwell, the Hawks compiled an overall record of 3–7–1, with a mark of 0–0 in conference play, and finished seventh in the MEAC.

Although the MEAC was classified as part of the NCAA Division I-AA, Maryland Eastern Shore (along with Morgan State and North Carolina Central) competed as part of Division II for the 1979 season.

In December the football program was officially suspended, and this made 1979 the final season for intercollegiate football at Maryland Eastern Shore.
