The 1937-38 Serie A was contested in the thirty-eighth season of the Italian football Championship and its ninth season since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the fifteenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Ambrosiana-Inter were champions for the fourth time in their history. This was their second scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their second win contested as Serie A. This punctuated a run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions until 1941.
