The National Football League 50th Anniversary All-Time Team was voted on by Hall of Fame selectors from each of the NFLs franchise cities in 1969 to honor the greatest players of the first 50 years of the National Football League (NFL). A total of three teams were announced with 16 players on the 1st team, and 15 on the 2nd and 3rd Team. Four players on the All-Time 1st Team were on NFL rosters at the time of the selections: Johnny Unitas, Gale Sayers, John Mackey, and Ray Nitschke.

Ten of the sixteen players from the 50th Anniversary All-Time Team also made the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team: Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Don Hutson, Elroy Hirsch, John Mackey, Cal Hubbard, Chuck Bednarik, Gino Marchetti, and Dick "Night Train" Lane.

With Jerry Kramer making the HOF class of 2018 all members of the 50th Anniversary All-Time Team have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
