The 1948–49 season was the forty-seventh season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division A. In one of the club's most impressive seasons in its history, Dundee would lead the league going into the final day, but a loss to Falkirk and title rivals Rangers defeating Albion Rovers resulted in Dundee finishing 2nd, just 1 point behind Rangers. Striker Alex Stott would top the Division A scoring charts with 30 league goals, and would score 39 goals in all competitions.[1][2]
Dundee would also compete in both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. Continuing their impressive season, Dundee would reach the semi-finals of both competitions, but would fall to Rangers in the League Cup and to Clyde in a replay in the Scottish Cup.[3]
