The 1937 Gruppa B was third season of the Soviet (second tier) professional football competitions.
Unlike the previous season that was split into two halves, this one was played as a double round-robin among seven teams. The tournament was won by Spartak Leningrad that according to pre-season regulation was to be promoted to the Gruppa A for 1938 season, however later arrangements for the next season were changed and all participants except for the last placed Dinamo Kazan gained promotion.
Also, after only playing 3 of its scheduled games and winning only one of them, CSKA Moscow was transferred to Gruppa A mid-season.[1]
No teams were relegated to the Gruppa B.
One team was promoted from the 1936 Gruppa V fall tournament.
