The 1961–62 Israel State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה, Gvia HaMedina) was the 23rd season of Israel's nationwide football cup competition and the eighth after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.
Despite this, the competition took slightly less than 15 months to complete, partly due to Israel's involvement in the 1962 FIFA World Cup qualification and its matches against Italy in late 1961.
The replay was played, at the request of President Itzhak Ben-Zvi, at the Hebrew University Stadium.
The date was set to 7 May 1962 and Maccabi Haifa won 5–2 to win its first cup.
The match between Hapoel Marmorek and Maccabi Tel Aviv was played on 17 May 1961.
