The 1950 Tampa Spartans football team represented the University of Tampa in the 1950 college football season. It was the Spartans' 14th season and competed as a member of the NAIA. The team was led by head coach Frank Sinkwich, in his first year, and played their home games at Phillips Field in Tampa, Florida. They finished with a record of five wins and four losses (5–4).

On March 1, 1950, Frank Sinkwich was hired by Tampa to serve as the Spartans' head coach after the resignation of Mike Gaddis. The season opened with a victory at Camp Lejeune and a loss against Jacksonville State before the Spartans won their first home game of the season against Wofford. Tampa then won their next game over Stetson before they lost their second game of the season to Appalachian State. After a pair of home victories over Livingston State and Delta State, Tampa closed the season with a pair of road losses. The first came against Marine Corps Base Quantico and the second against Florida State.
