The 1962–63 season was Dinamo București's 14th season in Divizia A. Dinamo retained the title won in the previous season. In the European Cup, Dinamo took part in the preliminary round, but were beaten by Galatasaray Istanbul.
Because the team were only seventh in Divizia A half way through the season, the team's manager, Angelo Niculescu, was replaced by Dumitru Nicolae ("Nicuşor") and Traian Ionescu, who were appointed to manage the team jointly.
