List of swimming world records and best times over 4 × 50 meters

The swimming world records and best times in the 4 × 50 m individual medley are the best times swum in the 4 × 50 m medley. The list of world best times is an unofficial list, as the international swimming federation FINA has only officially recognized times swum over this distance as world records since September 25, 2013. These world best times and world records are only held for short courses (25 m) and separately for men and women. In the following, world best times and world record developments since the first recognized world record are listed.
