The 1932–33 English football season was Aston Villa's 41st season in The Football League, Villa playing in the First Division. Billy Smith remained trophy-less going into his seventh season.

Going into the New Year fixtures, the Influenza season was creating havoc with so many ill that clubs were struggling to field full teams. The Times noted that the main threat to Arsenal came "as usual" from Aston Villa. In the Second City derby both teams won their home fixtures.

There were debuts for Archie Watkins, Joe Nibloe, Ernie Callaghan, Ollie Tidman, Ken Tewkesbury, Arthur Cunliffe and Ronnie Dix.
