1919–20 Birmingham F.C. season

The 1919–20 Football League season, the first to be played after the First World War, was Birmingham Football Club's 24th in the Football League and their 16th in the Second Division. They finished in third position in the 22-team division, eight points behind the promotion places. They also took part in the FA Cup, entering at the first round proper and losing to Liverpool in the third (last 16).

Twenty-eight players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were fourteen different goalscorers. Forward Johnny Crosbie was ever-present over the 45-match season. Harry Hampton was leading scorer with 16 goals, all of which came in the league.
