Rankings from AP Poll

The 1950 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon as a Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) member during the 1950 college football season. In their fourth and final season under head coach Jim Aiken, the Ducks compiled a 1–9 record (0–7 against PCC opponents), finished in last place in the PCC, and were outscored by their opponents 214 to 97.

The Oregon squad — known both as the "Ducks" and the "Webfoots" in the press — played three of its home games at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon and two at Multnomah Stadium in Portland.

Replete in a shiny leather helmet, Webfoots halfback Hal Cuffel (1929–1959) gets sandwiched by two Cal Bears in the team's meeting at Multnomah Stadium in Portland.
