# Campionat del Món de motociclisme de 1949

La temporada de 1949 del Campionat del món de motociclisme fou la 1a edició d'aquest campionat, organitzat per la FIM. Se'n disputaren quatre categories i també la categoria de sidecars en els Grans Premis més importants d'Europa. Pel que fa al sistema de puntuació, només els cinc primers rebien punts (10, 8, 7, 6, 5 respectivament). A part, hi havia un punt extra pel pilot que fes la volta ràpida. Pels efectes de la Segona Guerra Mundial, els pilots alemanys no pogueren participar en la competició.
