The 1937 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (officially the 1937 Torneio dos Campeões) was the 1st edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. It was an official tournament organized by the now defunct Brazilian Football Federation (FBF) and aimed to point the Brazilian champion at that time. It was the second time a state champions cup happened in Brazil.
The competition brought together the 1936 champions of the state leagues of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and was played in round-robin for points systems. The winning team was the Atlético Mineiro.
On 25 August 2023, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) officially recognized the tournament as analogous to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, thus conferring to Atlético Mineiro the status of first national champions of Brazil.
