The 1954–55 season of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was the second edition of the tournament. The tournament was played as a knockout competition among nine teams representing both regions and government departments. 1953–54 winner Bahawalpur received a bye through to the semi-finals to compensate for the odd number of teams. The final, played in Karachi, was contested between Karachi and Combined Services, with Karachi winning by eight wickets. East Pakistan cricket team and Baluchistan made their first appearances.
