The 2008 Coupe de la Ligue final was a football match that was held at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on March 29, 2008. It was contested between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and RC Lens. It was PSG's fourth appearance in the final. They won the inaugural cup in 1995, won again in 1998, and lost to FC Gueugnon in the 2000 final. It was Lens' second appearance in the final. They had won the cup in their only appearance back in 1999.

After an opening goal from Pauleta, Lens secured an equaliser just after halftime from Eric Carrière. With extra time looming, PSG striker Péguy Luyindula was hauled down by Hilton in the penalty area which resulted in the referee pointing to the spot. Bernard Mendy converted the kick, giving PSG their third Coupe de la Ligue title and a spot in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup.

Lens mayor Guy Delcourt wanted the match to be replayed after a PSG fan unfurled a banner insulting inhabitants of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (taking inspiration from a comedy movie of the time) midway through the game. The match was not replayed, but PSG were fined and penalised. One of the sanctions was that they would be unable to participate in the following edition of the League Cup, however this was later overturned on appeal.
