The 1950 SAAFL season was the 32nd season of the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL).

The season commenced on 22 April and concluded on 30 September.

Pulteney O.S.,[1] Christian Brothers' O.C., and Queen's O.C. did not re-affiliate. King's O.C. also did not field a 'B' team. Flinders Park and Payneham had entered their 'B' teams, as well as University 'C'. This resulted in 29 teams, so A3 decreased to 9 teams. Each club was levied £30 for each team plus 2/- for each registered player.[2]

The Football Trainers' Association sponsored for all trainers from all teams in the League, Association, Amateur League, and all League associated Junior Associations were able to be trained in first aid.[3]

An amateur side was given the opportunity to field a combined side from all Amateur Council associations, to compete in the Australian National Football Carnival held from 19 to 29 July.[4]
