The 1937 Palestine Cup (Hebrew: הגביע הארץ-ישראלי, HaGavia HaEretz-Israeli) was the eighth season of Israeli Football Association's nationwide football cup competition. The defending holders were Maccabi Avshalom Petah Tikva.
Reinstated after a year's hiatus, due the outbreak of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt, the competition saw Hapoel HaDarom Tel Aviv upsetting Maccabi Tel Aviv and reaching the final, aided by suspensions that were handed to Maccabi players, forcing the club to field a youth team for the Semi-final match against Hapoel HaDarom
In the final, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel HaDarom 3–0 to win its third cup.
