During the 1950–51 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Second Division. Amidst a period of transition, the Bees repeated the previous season's 9th-place finish.

Jackie Gibbons' Brentford went into the 1950–51 season with Billy Dare as the only recognised goalscorer on the club's books. The squad was augmented by young forward Bernard Kelly, with former Blackpool full back Ken Horne replacing the retired Malky MacDonald.

Aside from four wins in a row in August and September, Brentford had a torrid first half of the season, falling to just one place above relegation by mid-November 1950. Injuries and constant tinkering meant manager Jackie Gibbons had been unable to field a settled XI, but the team recovered after the Leeds defeat to thrash Southampton on Boxing Day and thereafter won a number of matches by considerable margins through to the end of the season. A new half back line was formed, with failed forwards Tony Harper and Jimmy Hill sitting alongside captain Ron Greenwood, while Fred Monk, who had been converted into a full back, was deployed in his original forward position. Monk, Billy Sperrin and back-in-form Billy Dare hit the back of the net regularly from mid-January 1951 through to the end of the season, elevating Brentford to a credible 9th-place finish. Monk set a new club record when he scored in 10 consecutive matches between February and April 1951.
