The 1975 Copa Libertadores finals was the final two-legged tie to determine the 1975 Copa Libertadores champion. It was contested by Argentine club Independiente and Chilean club Unión Española. The first leg of the tie was played on 18 June in Santiago, with the second leg played on 25 June in Avellaneda. Under the rules of the time, if a team won the first match and the other won the second, or if the matches were two ties, a tie-breaking match would take place.
Independiente won the series after winning a tie-breaking playoff 2–0 at Asunción's Estadio Defensores del Chaco, achieving its fourth consecutive Copa Libertadores title.
This is so far the only time a team won the Copa Libertadores four times in a row. No team has even won third in a row since then.
