The 1950–51 Iraq FA Baghdad First Division was the third season of the Iraq Central FA Premier League (the top division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities from 1948 to 1973). Teams in the region were split into three divisions rather than two for the first time. The First Division started on 8 December 1950, and consisted of five teams.

After the completion of the regular season, a final stage was supposed to be held to determine the champion. However, the final stage was abandoned due to scheduling issues. Having topped the table in the regular season, Al-Haras Al-Malaki were considered to be the winners, although no trophy ceremony was held. After the failure to complete the finals, a new committee was formed by the Iraq Central Football Association to manage future competitions.
