The 1961–62 Coppa Italia was the 15th Coppa Italia, the major Italian domestic cup. The competition was won by Napoli, who defeated SPAL in a one-legged final played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. This was (and, to this day, still is) the first time a team playing in Serie B won the domestic cup of Italy.
