The 1963 NSW Federation Cup was the seventh edition of the NSW Soccer Federation's premier soccer cup. Due to a lack of sponsorship, there was no prize money on offer for this tournament and the first time since the 1958 edition that it was solely known as the Federation Cup. The cup was contested by all twelve first division clubs and four second division clubs.

APIA Leichhardt were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the first round to Gladesville-Ryde.

The final was played between Sydney Hakoah and South Coast United, with Hakoah winning the match 2–1 and to claim their third Federation Cup title.{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/soccer-world-annual-1964|title=Soccer World Annual 1964|publisher=Soccer World|accessdate=16 September 2023}}{{cite web|url=http://www.socceraust.co.uk/1963/NSW/Cup/fixtures.html|title=NSW Federation Cup 1963|website=www.socceraust.co.uk|accessdate=16 September 2023}}
