The 1999 Kansas City Chiefs season was the franchise's 40th season in the National Football League, and the 30th overall. The season began with the promotion of Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham to Head coach following the resignation of Marty Schottenheimer after the 7-9 Chiefs' 1998 season losing record.
The team finished with a 9–7 winning record and 2nd place in the AFC West.
In the final game of the season against the Oakland Raiders, the Chiefs were denied a trip to the 1999-2000 playoffs and an AFC West division title when Raiders kicker Joe Nedney kicked a field-goal in overtime. This game also was the final game future hall of fame linebacker Derrick Thomas played in before his death on February 8 2000.
