The 1962 FA Charity Shield was the 40th FA Charity Shield, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Football League and FA Cup competitions. The match took place on 11 August 1962 at Portman Road in Ipswich, and was played between 1961–62 Football League champions Ipswich Town and 1961–62 FA Cup winners Tottenham Hotspur. Watched by a crowd of 20,067, the match ended in a 5–1 victory for Tottenham Hotspur.
This was Ipswich's first appearance in the Charity Shield while Tottenham Hotspur were making their fourth, having last competed for the trophy the previous season. Tottenham's Jimmy Greaves opened the scoring and Bobby Smith doubled his team's advantage before half time. Greaves scored a second 13 minutes into the second half, and late goals from John White and Terry Medwin came either side of a Roy Stephenson consolation goal for Ipswich.

Post-match
The trophy was presented to the Tottenham captain Blanchflower by Graham Doggart, the chairman of the Football Association.[12] Remarking on the willingness of the Tottenham players to move out of position, their manager Bill Nicholson said: "there is no guarantee we shall ever do the same thing twice or stick to any particular pattern".[7] Ramsey was not unduly moved by the result, noting that new signing Bobby Blackwood had been left out as the Charity Shield was "an honour match for the team which won the championship last season".[7]
Ipswich went on to finish 17th in the 1962–63 season while Tottenham finished runners-up behind Everton.[13] Tottenham Hotspur were beaten in third round of the 1962–63 FA Cup by Burnley;[14] Ipswich lost 3–1 to Leicester City in the fourth round.[15]
