The FEF President Cup (Spanish: Copa Presidente de la Federación Española de Fútbol) was the name of two football competitions held in Spain in the 1940s, both officially recognized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), who even donated a trophy for the second tournament.

There are two different tournaments, the first was held in 1940, as a consolation tournament for clubs from the Segunda División, which was won by Club Deportivo Malacitano (currently known as Málaga CF), while the second was created as a replacement for the so-called Iberian Cup, and which was contested by First Division teams and won by Atlético de Madrid. The latter started in 1941, but for various reasons it only ended six years later in 1947, thus making it the longest tournament in the history of football.

Other tournaments

There are other tournaments, which were held between the 1930s and 1940s, with a similar name, Copa Presidente, but from the federations of the regional areas to which they belonged, such as the Copa Presidente Federación Castellana (1940–41 and 1943–44), or the Copa Presidente Federación Vasca, but they have nothing to do with this tournament and are competitions with a different format and of a regional character.
