The Copa del Presidente de la República 1936 (President of the Republic's Cup) was the 36th staging of the Spanish football cup competition.

The competition started in February, 1936 and concluded on June 21, 1936, with the final, held at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia. Madrid CF won the match 2-1 for their seventh cup victory, defeating FC Barcelona in the first El Clásico final. Defending champions Sevilla FC lost to Hércules CF in a Round-of-16 replay.
