The 1968–69 Swiss Cup was the 44th season of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since 1925–26 by the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV).

This season's cup competition began on the weekend of 7 and 8 September 1968, with the games of the first round. The competition was to be completed on Whit Monday 26 May 1969 with the final, which was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds and entered the competition in the third round. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) were granted byes for the first three rounds. These teams joined the competition in the fourth round, which was played on the week-end of 2 and 3 November.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the first two rounds, no replays were foreseen, at the end of extra time if the scores were level, a toss of a coin would decide the outcome of the match. After this first stage, from round 3 onwards, in the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would decide the outcome of these encounters. The cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season.

In this first phase, the lower league teams (1. Liga and lower) that had qualified themselves for the competition through their regional football association's regional cup competitions or their association's requirements, competed here. Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The lower-tier team in each drawn encounter was granted the home advantage, if so wished.
