The Football League Third Division 1950/51 was the 24th season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had their two champions, Rotherham United and Nottingham Forest, and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . The two in the table below ranked second division clubs Chesterfield and Grimsby Town took in the following third division season 1951/52 two places in the Third Division North. From both third division seasons only the AFC New Brighton had to , because both the lower-placed southern clubs Watford and Crystal Palace and Accrington Stanley in the north received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to return to third in the 1951/52 season Division to participate. The only climber for New Brighton was the AFC Workington in the north and to ensure the same number of participants, Shrewsbury Town was regrouped from north to south.
