The 1972 Copa Simón Bolívar (English: Simon Bolivar Cup) was an international football competition organized by the Venezuelan Football Federation. The idea of this competition was to create a tournament among the champions clubs of the countries liberated by Simon Bolivar. It was played six times from its first edition in 1970 to the last in 1976, thus integrating the league champions clubs of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. Due to its format, it was a historical precedent of the Copa Merconorte, played between the same Bolivarian countries or the Andean Community from 1998 until the 2001 edition.

This tournament (1972 edition) was played in 1973 due to internal problems at the Federación Venezuela de Fútbol, which had been suspended by FIFA because of problems between FVF and the Instituto Nacional de Deportes. No preliminary eliminations were held in the relevant countries. Ironically, the 1973 edition was not played. Millonarios won the competition defeating Deportivo Portugués 3–0 in the Second leg.
