During the 1954–55 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Third Division South. In the club's first season back in the third-tier since 1932–33, the Bees finished in mid-table. The campaign was memorable for the debuts of youth products Jim Towers and George Francis, who would dominate Brentford's goalscoring charts until 1961.

The 1954–55 Third Division South season marked Brentford's fall from the top-flight to the basement in just seven years. It would be the Bees' first season in the Third Division South since 1932–33 and manager Bill Dodgin Sr. was given little budget to work with, due to the £10,000 from the sale of Jimmy Bloomfield to Arsenal being spent on relieving the club's debts. Dodgin did not conduct a fire sale after Brentford's relegation and managed to keep his squad intact, with Millwall forward George Stobbart (arriving in exchange for Terry Ledgerton), forward Jeff Taylor and goalkeeper Sonny Feehan being the only players to arrive at Griffin Park. Ageing full back Fred Monk was released and goalkeeper Alf Jefferies transferred to Torquay United. The products of Alf Bew's youth team would be given more of a chance than in the previous Second Division seasons.
