The 1973 Copa Libertadores finals was the final two-legged tie to determine the 1973 Copa Libertadores champion. It was contested by Argentine club Independiente and Chilean club Colo-Colo. The first leg of the tie was played on 22 May at Avellaneda' home field, with the second leg played on 29 May at Santiago de Chile'.
