Juicio Final (1972) (Spanish for "Final Judgement" 1972) was a professional wrestling supercard show, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which took place on December 8, 1972, in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The show served as the year-end finale for CMLL before Arena México, CMLL's main venue, closed down for the winter for renovations and to host Circo Atayde. The shows replaced the regular Super Viernes ("Super Friday") shows held by CMLL since the mid-1930s.

Sources indicate that the 1972 Juicio Final match was sold out and that EMLL had to turn away thousands of fans wanting to buy tickets. The main event that drew the sellout crowd was a Lucha de Apuesta of friends-turned-rivals El Solitario and Ángel Blanco as they both risked their masks on the outcome of the match. The match helped establish El Solitario's position as a top wrestler as he defeated Ángel Blanco. Afterwards Ángel Blanco unmasked and revealed that his birthname was Jose Ángel Vargas Sanchez. The show featured five additional matches.
