The 1974–75 season was Liverpool Football Club's 83rd season in existence and their 13th consecutive season in the First Division. Liverpool had a trophyless first season under the guidance of Bob Paisley, who took over as manager following the retirement of Bill Shankly after nearly 15 years at the helm. They did finish second in the First Division behind champions Derby County, in a record-tight season that saw the top ten teams separated by less than ten points. A defeat in the penultimate round against newcomers Middlesbrough cost Liverpool a ninth league title.

It did however beat the club record for biggest victory, eclipsing Strømsgodset from Norway by 11–0 in the Cup Winners' Cup.
