The 1968–69 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's second season in the ABA and second as a team. This season would be the debut of Bobby Leonard coaching the Indiana Pacers, who would remain that way for not just the rest of the season following Larry Staverman's firing as head coach after nine games into the season (resulting in a 2–7 record at that time), but also for the rest of their tenure in the ABA, as well as their first few seasons in the NBA following the eventual ABA-NBA merger of 1976, with Leonard remaining as the team's head coach until 1980. Under Leonard's coaching for the season, the Pacers would see significant improvement under him by comparison to how they started the season earlier on, to the point of finishing the season one game ahead of the recently rebranded Miami Floridians franchise to be named the best Eastern Division team that season, despite having a pedestrian-looking record of 44–34 at the top of the division. Despite that notion, the Pacers would end up making it all the way up to the second ABA Finals ever held, where they would ultimately lose the series to the Oakland Oaks in what later turned out to be their final season under that name before the Oaks moved to Washington, D.C. (albeit still playing as a Western Division team at the time, weirdly enough) to become the Washington Caps for a season before ultimately moving to the state of Virginia as a regional franchise that was also a proper Eastern Division team known as the Virginia Squires for the rest of their existence afterward.
