The 1950 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 1955 college football season, the 61st season of Sooner football. The team was led by Bud Wilkinson in his ninth season as head coach. They played their home games at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. They were members of the Big Seven Conference.

The Sooners opened the season ranked number 3, and were led on offense by quarterback Jimmy Harris.
