A computer-implemented method for automatically identifying changes in deliverable files may include (1) identifying, within first and second versions of a program file, at least one post-file-header section that is located after a file header of the program file, (2) locating, within the post-file-header section of the first version of the program file, a first set of characters that correspond to at least one data field that is known to potentially change between builds of the program file even when source code of the program file has not changed, (3) locating, within the post-file-header section of the second version of the program file, a second set of characters that correspond to the data field, and (4) masking both the first and second sets of characters from a comparison between the first and second versions of the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
