The 2007–08 Coppa Italia was the 61st edition of the national domestic tournament. Fixtures were announced at 16:00 CET, July 25, 2007. The tournament began on August 14, 2007, and ended on May 24, 2008, with a single-match final played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. For the fourth consecutive tournament, Roma and Internazionale were the finalists. Roma won the tournament 2–1 in the final.
The format of the 2007–08 Coppa, which was announced on June 28, 2007, was a major departure from the format used in previous cup tournaments. The new format reduced the number of competitors to the 42 teams that would play in Serie A and Serie B for the 2007–08 season; no Serie C teams participated in the tournament. Also, the rather unusual two-leg final was eliminated.
