The 1950 Meath Senior Football Championship is the 58th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 8 teams. The championship starts with a divisional stage (based on region) and then progresses to a final.

This was Navan O'Mahonys first year ever as a senior club after claiming the 1949 Meath Junior Football Championship title. This was only their 3rd year in existence as a club since being founded in 1948 and only their 2nd year of competitive activity. This was also Trim's return to the senior ranks after claiming the 1949 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

Syddan were the defending champions after they defeated North Meath in the previous years final, however North Meath (an amalgamation including the finest players from Intermediate club Moynalty along with Junior clubs Castletown, Drumconrath/Meath Hill Brian Boru's, Kilberry, Kilmainhamwood, Nobber and Rathkenny - These were clubs all part of the North Meath GAA District Board) exacted revenge by ending Syddan's reign at the Divisional Final stage.

North Meath's line up included 1949 All-Ireland medalists such as Paddy Connell (Moynalty), Séamus Heery (Rathkenny), Larry McGuinness (Nobber) and Pat Carolan (Kilmainhamwood).

On 10th September 1950, North Meath won their first ever Senior championship title when they defeated Skryne on a 2-4 to 1-3 scoreline at Pairc Tailteann.
