The 1946-47 Serie A was the forty-fifth edition of the Italian Football Championship. It was the first Serie A for three years due to the regional Divisione Nazionale format resurrected in the first season of the Italian championship immediately post war in 1945-46. It was the fifteenth Italian Football Championship branded Serie A since Serie A was launched in 1929.

This was the twenty-second season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Torino FC were champions for the 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 was their third of five consecutive Italian Football Championship wins, punctuated by a two-year break due to World War II.

Serie A 1946-47 team distribution

Teams

Alessandria had been promoted from the 1945–46 Serie B-C Alta Italia and Napoli had been promoted from the 1945–46 Campionato Centro-Sud Serie A-B.

Events

Following the expansion of the league to 20 clubs, the FIGC originally decided that three teams would be relegated instead of two, as was the case before the league hiatus caused by World War II. However, 20th-placed Triestina would be readmitted for the following season for political reasons.
