The 1938 Green Bay Packers season was their 19th season in the National Football League. The club posted an 8–3 record in 1938 under head coach Curly Lambeau, earning them a first-place finish in the Western Division.

In the championship game at the Polo Grounds, the Packers lost to the New York Giants 23–17, the first of only three losses the Packers have in 13 world championship games. The two teams met again in the title game the following year at Wisconsin State Fair Park, with different results.

This season marked the last Packers' win in Buffalo (where they defeated the Chicago Cardinals by two points on a late field goal on a Wednesday night). Since then, they are winless in six attempts against the Buffalo Bills in western New York, the latest on December 14, 2014.
