The 1939-40 Serie A was contested in the fortieth season of the Italian football Championship and its eleventh season since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the seventeenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Ambrosiana-Inter were champions for the fifth time in their history. This was their third scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their third win contested as Serie A. This was a second punctuation by Inter in the run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions until 1941.
