The 1949–50 season was the forty-eighth season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division A, where the club would finish in 6th place. Dundee would also compete in both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup, but would struggle in both competitions, finishing bottom of their group in the League Cup and being knocked out in a 1st round replay against Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Cup.
