The 1999 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final was a football match between Mallorca of Spain and Lazio of Italy played on 19 May 1999 at Villa Park, Birmingham, England. It was the final match of the 1998–99 season of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the culmination of the competition before it was absorbed into the UEFA Cup the following season. Mallorca were appearing in their first final in their first season in European competition, while Lazio were also appearing in their first Cup Winners' Cup final. It was their second European final in succession after reaching the final of the UEFA Cup the previous season.

Each club needed to progress through four rounds to reach the final, which were contested over two legs, with a match at each team's home ground. Mallorca's ties were all close affairs. They beat Genk of Belgium on the away goals rule after the tie finished 1–1 on aggregate. They beat defending champions Chelsea of England by a single goal. The majority of Lazio's ties were close affairs, two of which were decided on the away goals rule. The exception was their quarter-final tie against Greek team Panionios, which they won 7–0 on aggregate.

Watched by a crowd of 33,021, Lazio took the lead in the final when striker Christian Vieri scored in the 7th minute. They were not ahead for long as Mallorca equalised four minutes later when striker Dani scored. The match remained level for the majority of the match until the 81st minute when Lazio midfielder Pavel Nedvěd scored. With no further goals, Lazio won the match 2–1 to win the last Cup Winners' Cup and their first European trophy.
