Den BTR-50 (BTR står för Bronetransporter (БТР, Бронетранспортер), bokstavligen "pansartransportör") är en sovjetisk amfibisk pansarvagn (APC) baserad på den lätta stridsvagnen PT-76. BTR-50 är bandvagnsdriven, till skillnad från de flesta i BTR-serien, som är hjulförsedda. BTR-50 har många likheter med två andra pansarvagnar, OT-62 TOPAS och Type 77. Medan OT-62 är en förbättrad kopia av BTR-50 som utvecklats gemensamt av Tjeckoslovakien och Polen, är typ 77, baserad på den amfibiska lätta stridsvagnen av typ 63 som utvecklats av Folkrepubliken Kina (Kina), inte en kopia 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.
