1971–72 Albanian Cup (Albanian: Kupa e Shqipërisë) was the twentieth season of Albania's annual cup competition. It began in August 1971 with the First Round and ended in May 1972 with the Final matches. Dinamo Tirana were the defending champions, having won their seventh Albanian Cup last season. The cup was won by Vllaznia.^[1]

The rounds were played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregated score was tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advanced. If the number of away goals was equal in both games, the match was decided by extra time and a penalty shootout, if necessary.
