The Ukrainian Cup 1973 was a football knockout competition conducted by the Football Federation of Ukrainian SSR and was known as the Ukrainian Cup.

The competitions began with the preliminary round on November 1, 1973, and involved republican-level non-amateur clubs. The main event started with the round of 16 on November 6, 1973, when the inter-republican clubs joined the competition, such as Chornomorets, Metalist, and others, while some of them were represented by their second squad. Dynamo Kyiv has chosen not to participate in it since its last winning season in 1948. Also, the last season champions FC Avtomobilist Zhytomyr, which entered the competition at the Round of 16, were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Unlike the previous edition, the tournament introduced a penalty shootout, which replaced the method of a game replay. The competition concluded in two and a half weeks in Kyiv on November 18. Note that the tournament took place after the Soviet football season was over and was conducted in rather unsupported weather conditions, as the cold period in Ukraine usually occurs in September or October, depending on location.
