The 45th Grey Cup was the Canadian Football League's (CFL) championship game of the 1957 season. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 32 to 7 at Varsity Stadium in Toronto.

This was the first Grey Cup game to be covered on coast-to-coast television.

The game is famous for a play when Hamilton defensive back Ray Bawel intercepted a Winnipeg pass and raced unopposed for an apparent touchdown. As he passed the Winnipeg bench, however, Dave Humphrey, a Winnipeg fan who was standing in front of the Winnipeg bench, put his foot out and tripped Bawel.
