The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 68th season in the history of the franchise.
The Phillies won the National League pennant by two games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. It marked the second pennant in franchise history. Nicknamed the "Whiz Kids" because of the youth of their roster, they went on to lose the World Series to the New York Yankees in four straight games.
