The 1937–38 NCAA football bowl games were the final games of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 1937 college football season and featured five bowl games, down one from the prior season, as the Bacardi Bowl was not held.

Notably, the Orange Bowl was first held in Burdine Stadium, which was later renamed for the bowl game itself in 1959.

The national championship, according to recognized selectors, was split by Pittsburgh and California.
