The 1994 Copa Libertadores was the 35th edition of the Copa Libertadores, CONMEBOL's premier annual international competition. Vélez Sársfield won the tournament for their first title against São Paulo in a penalty shootout with a score of 5–3. Vélez's goalkeeper José Chilavert scored one of the penalty kicks and saved another one. The top scorer of the tournament was Stalin Rivas of Minervén S.C., with 7 goals.

This was the first time since 1986 that an Argentine club won the Libertadores again after a negative streak of 7 years. This bad streak would repeat from the 2019 edition until 2025 edition.
