The Sunday of Miracles ( pl, Niedziela cudów) is a colloquial description of the events that took place during the last matchday of the 1992–93 Ekstraklasa season.

Before the last round of the table, Legia was in the lead before ŁKS, having the same number of points, but the goal difference was three goals better than the club from Łódź.
