The 1950 Maine Black Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of Maine as a member of the Yankee Conference during the 1950 college football season. In its second and final season under head coach David M. Nelson, the team compiled a 5–1–1 record (3–1 against conference opponents). The team played its home games at Alumni Field in Orono, Maine. Peter Pocius Jr. was the team captain.[1]

In February 1951, coach Nelson resigned his post as Maine's head football coach to become head football coach and athletic director at the University of Delaware.[2] Nelson was the head coach at Delaware for 15 years and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987.[3]
