The initial 16 districts of the Gauliga in 1933

The 1936–37 Gauliga was the fourth season of the Gauliga, the first tier of the football league system in Germany from 1933 to 1945.

The league operated in sixteen regional divisions, of which two, the Gauliga Ostpreußen and Gauliga Pommern, were sub-divided into four and two regional groups respectively, with the league containing 183 clubs all up, the same number as the previous season. The league champions entered the 1937 German football championship, won by FC Schalke 04 who defeated 1. FC Nürnberg 2–0 in the final. It was Schalke's third national championship, with the club winning six all up during the Gauliga era of German football from 1933 to 1945.^[1]

Two clubs remained unbeaten during the league season, those being FC Schalke 04 and SV Kassel. Of those Schalke would go on to remain unbeaten during the German championship as well while Kassel would lose five out of six finals games. At the other end of the table only one club finished the season without a win, SC Göttingen 05. FC Schalke 04 scored the most amount of goals of any Gauliga club with 103 while Sperber Hamburg conceded the most with 98. FC Schalke 04 achieved the highest points total with 35 while SC Göttingen 05 earned the least with one point to its name.^[2]

The 1936–37 season saw the third edition of the Tschammerpokal, now the DFB-Pokal. The 1937 edition was won by FC Schalke 04, defeating Fortuna Düsseldorf 2–1 on 9 January 1938.^[3] thereby becoming the first club in Germany to win the double, something not repeated until FC Bayern Munich won it in 1968–69.^[4]
