The 1988 Southwestern Apaches football team was an American football team that represented Southwestern College as a member of the Mission Conference during the 1988 junior college football season. In their 13th year under head coach Bob Mears, the Apaches compiled a 7–4 record, won the Mission Conference South Division championship, and defeated Antelope Valley in the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Bowl.

14 Southwestern players were selected to the 1988 All-Mission Conference South Division football team, including six freshmen. Defensive back Melvin McFarlin was named the Mission Conference South Division Defensive Player of the Year, as well as an honorable mention All-American by J.C. Grid-Wire, after recording eight interceptions in the regular season. The team was led on offense by dual-threat quarterback Anthony Rivera, wide receiver Richard Sanchez, and running backs Tony Herd and Tracy Williams.

The team played its home games at DeVore Stadium in Chula Vista, California.
