1962 FIFA World Cup qualification (CCCF/NAFC–CONMEBOL play-off)

The 1962 FIFA World Cup qualification (CCCF/NAFC–CONMEBOL play-off) was a two-legged tie contested between the winner of the CCCF/NAFC qualification group and a CONMEBOL team for a place in the 1962 FIFA World Cup finals held in Chile. This intercontinental play-off was a mechanism to ensure representation from different confederations in the World Cup tournament.

The CCCF/NAFC zone, precursors to CONCACAF, did not have an automatic qualification spot. Therefore, their qualifying winner had to overcome a South American team to secure a place. CONMEBOL, the South American Football Confederation, typically had fewer automatic qualification spots than the number of its member nations, making these play-offs a necessary part of the qualification process for some of their teams as well.

The specific format and participating teams were determined by the results of the respective continental qualifying groups. Details such as the dates, venues, and the teams involved in the play-off would depend on the outcome of the CCCF/NAFC and CONMEBOL qualification tournaments for the 1962 World Cup. The winner of the play-off qualified for the 1962 FIFA World Cup finals.
