The Kuwaiti Federation Cup ({{langx|ar|كأس الاتحاد الكويتي}}) is a competition organised by the Kuwait Football Association, and has been played in its current format since 2008.
The first edition of the Federation Cup was played in the 1969–70 season, although not much is known about the competition in the early years. The competition is for senior teams playing in the top tier Kuwait Premier League, although the 2015–16 edition saw the second-division Burgan enter.
The cup competition is predominantly played during international breaks (group stage) and after league match days. the tournament was abolished at the end of 2015–16 season, but returned in 2017–18.
