The 1942–43 Gauliga Bayern was the tenth season of the league, one of the 29 Gauligas in Germany at the time. It was the first tier of the football league system in Bavaria (German:Bayern) from 1933 to 1945. It was the first season of the league being sub-divided into a northern and southern division, the Gauliga Nordbayern and Gauliga Südbayern.

For TSV 1860 München it was the second of two Gauliga championships while, for 1. FC Nürnberg, it was the sixth out of seven the club would win in the era from 1933 to 1944. Both clubs qualified for the 1943 German football championship, where Nürnberg was knocked out in the first preliminary round after losing 3–1 to VfR Mannheim while TSV 1860 lost 2–0 to First Vienna in the quarter-finals.

The ninth edition of the Tschammerpokal, now the DFB-Pokal, saw 1. FC Nürnberg eliminated by First Vienna in the quarter-finals as the best Gauliga Bayern club.
