The 1938-39 Serie A was the thirty-ninth edition of the Italian Football Championship and its tenth since 1929 re-branding to create Serie A. It was the sixteenth season from which the Italian Football Champions adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. Bologna were champions for the fifth time in their history. This was their fifth scudetto since the scudetto started being awarded in 1924 and their third win contested as Serie A. This re-ignited the Ambrosiana-Inter punctuated run of four Bologna wins from six consecutive Serie A competitions until 1941.
Teams Novara and Modena had been promoted from Serie B.
Events The goal average substituted the tie-breaker in event of equal points, to save time considering the risk of war. This change greatly helped Triestina.
Final classification
Note: Ambrosiana-Inter qualified as Coppa Italia winners.
