Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1949 represents the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire had been playing for seventy-eight years.
Derbyshire played 26 matches in the County Championship and one against the touring New Zealanders.
Charlie Elliott scored most runs, and Cliff Gladwin took most wickets with 110 in the Championship.
Laurie Johnson, who went on to become a major performer for the county, made his debut in 1949 while fellow West Indian Michael Frederick also made his debut, but only took part in two first class matches.
Dick Sale and Tom Hall played in their first of several seasons for the club, as did George Lowe although he appeared intermittently.
