The 1936-37 Serie A was the thirty-seventh edition of the Italian Football Championship and the eighth since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the fourteenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Bologna were champions for the second successive season and fourth time in their history. This was their fourth scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their second win contested as Serie A. This continued a run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions until 1941.

Teams

Lucchese and Novara had been promoted from Serie B.
