The 1949 Kategoria e Dytë is the sixth season of the second tier of football in Albania.
The previous season (1948–49) had been abandoned in March 1949, under Soviet pressure to revert to a spring-to-summer schedule instead of the fall-to-spring schedule that Western European nations had adopted. The 1949 campaign began on 22 May and finished in October.
