The Castleton Spartans football team represents Vermont State University Castleton in college football at the NCAA Division III level. The Spartans are members of the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), fielding its team in the NJAC since 2025. The Spartans play their home games at Dave Wolk Stadium in Castleton, Vermont.

Their head coach is Tyler Higley, who took over the position for the 2024 season as interim head coach.

Until Castleton became a part of Vermont State University, Vermont was the only state in the United States besides Alaska where the state university did not have varsity football; as the University of Vermont had not had a varsity football team since 1974 (and still does not). The Spartans are now the only public university in Vermont with varsity football. As it is now, however, Vermont is still the only state besides Alaska where the state university does not award any athletic scholarships for football.
