The 1936–37 Coppa Italia was the fourth edition of the national cup in Italian football and the second edition of the tournament under the organization of the Direttorio Divisioni Superiori.

All teams from Serie A, Serie B and Serie C took part to this competition, which included a first phase, with elimination rounds reserved for teams in Serie B and C, and a final phase, where the 16 winners of the first phase met the 16 Serie A teams.
