The 1957 VFL Night Premiership Cup was the Victorian Football League end of season cup competition played in August, September and October of the 1957 VFL Premiership Season. This was the second year the VFL Night Series had existed. Run as a four-round knock-out tournament, it was contested by all twelve VFL teams. Games were played at the Lake Oval, Albert Park, then the home ground of South Melbourne, as it was the only ground equipped to host night games. South Melbourne went on to win its second night series cup, defeating Geelong in the final by 51 points.
