The 1940-41 Serie A was contested in the forty-first season of the Italian football Championship and its twelfth season since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the eighteenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Bologna were champions for the sixth time in their history. This was their sixth scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their fourth win contested as Serie A. This completed the twice Ambrosiana-Inter punctuated run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions.
