The 1945–46 Italian Football Championship, officially known as 1945–46 Divisione Nazionale, was the first tournament held after World War II. Wartime disruptions and US occupation of Northern Italy forced to divide the Serie A championship in two sections, North and South. Some of the Southern sides that took part to the competition were the Serie B teams. The title was won by Torino after a final national round.
