The 1971 Intercontinental Cup was a football tie held over two legs in December 1971 between the runners up of the 1970–71 European Cup, Panathinaikos (European Cup winners Ajax declined to participate), and Nacional, winners of the 1971 Copa Libertadores.

The first leg was held on 15 December 1971 at the Karaiskakis Stadium, home of Olympiacos, as Panathinaikos ground was deemed unsuitable. The match finished up as a 1–1 draw. The goals came from Totis Filakouris in the 48th minute and Luis Artime in the 50th minute. Julio Morales broke the leg of Giannis Tomaras and was sent off.

Estadio Centenario hosted the return leg 13 days later on 28 December 1971. Nacional won the second leg 2–1.
