List of submissions to the 50th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

This is a list of submissions to the 50th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was created in 1956 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to honour non-English-speaking films produced outside the United States. The award is handed out annually, and is accepted by the winning film's director, although it is considered an award for the submitting country as a whole. Countries are invited by the Academy to submit their best films for competition according to strict rules, with only one film being accepted from each country.

For the 50th Academy Awards, twenty-four films were submitted in the category Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Iran, Morocco and Venezuela entered the competition for the first time. The highlighted titles were the five nominated films. These films came from France, Greece, Israel, Italy and Spain. France won the award for Madame Rosa, a drama by an Israeli director about Madame Rosa, a retired prostitute and Holocaust survivor in Paris.
