The 1963 season was Santos Futebol Clube's fiftieth-first in existence and the club's third consecutive season in the top flight of Brazilian football. It was also the club's second consecutive participation in the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup.

Repeating the success of the previous campaign, Santos won four of the five official titles played in that season, lifting the Torneio Rio-São Paulo, the Copa Libertadores, the Intercontinental Cup and the Taça Brasil (where they entered in the semifinals and played all four matches in January 1964). They also finished third in the Campeonato Paulista, behind Palmeiras and São Paulo.[1]
