Den BTR-50 (BTR står for Bronetransporter (БТР, Бронетранспортер), bokstavelig talt "pansret transportør") er en sovjetisk amfibisk pansret personellvogn (APC) basert på PT-76 lett stridsvogn. BTR-50 er beltet, i motsetning til de fleste i BTR-serien, som er hjulet. BTR-50 deler mange likheter med to andre APC-er, OT-62 TOPAS og Type 77. Mens OT-62 er en forbedret kopi av BTR-50 utviklet i fellesskap av Tsjekkoslovakia og Polen, er Type 77, basert på Type 63 amfibisk lett tank utviklet av Folkerepublikken Kina (PRC), ikke en kopi av BTR-50.

Den BTR-50 is a Soviet-designed amphibious armored personnel carrier that was based on the PT-76 light tank chassis. It was developed in the early 1950s and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1954. It had a flat, boat-shaped hull with a superstructure in the front that housed the driver and the commander. The BTR-50 could carry up to 20 infantrymen in the rear compartment, which was open-topped in the original version.
The vehicle was powered by a V-6 diesel engine that gave it a maximum speed of 44 km/h on road and 11 km/h on water. The BTR-50 had no fixed armament, but could mount a 7.62 mm or a 14.5 mm machine gun on a pintle. The BTR-50 was used by many countries in various conflicts, such as the Six-Day War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War. It was also produced under license by Czechoslovakia and Poland as the OT-62 TOPAS. The BTR-50 was later replaced by more modern APCs, such as the BTR-60 and the BMP-1.
