The 1969 Macdonald Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held March 3–7 at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium in Oshawa, Ontario.

The Ron Northcott rink representing Alberta won their third title, having gone undefeated. It was the first time a team had gone undefeated since 1957.[2] It was also the 11th title for Alberta. Northcott became the fourth skip to ever win back-to-back Briers, joining Gordon Hudson, Matt Baldwin, and Ernie Richardson (twice).[citation needed]

British Columbia were runners-up, with an impressive 9-1 record, which was usually good enough to win. Both Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island tied for third place at 7-3 records. It was tied for the best ever result for PEI, which also finished third the previous year.[3]
