The 1950 Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship was the 56th staging of the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kilkenny County Board in 1887.[1] The championship ran from 30 April to 26 November 1950.

Graigue were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Tullaroan in the first round.[2]

The final, a replay, was played on 26 November 1950 at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny, between Dicksboro and Éire Óg, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Dicksboro won the match by 4–06 to 1–05 to claim their third championship title overall and a first title in 24 years.[3][4][5]
