The 1999 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee as a member of the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by seventh-year head coach Phillip Fulmer, the Volunteers compiled an overall record of 9–3 with a mark of 6–2, placing second in the SEC's Eastern Division. Tennessee was invited to the Fiesta Bowl, where the Volunteers lost to Nebraska. The team played home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Volunteers offense scored 369 points while the defense allowed 194 points. After securing an undefeated national championship in the previous season, Tennessee lost to SEC East rival Florida, and saw Arkansas get revenge for the Razorbacks' loss in Knoxville in 1998, beating the Vols by exactly the same score of 28–24.
