During the 1951–52 English football season, Queens Park Rangers competed in the Football League Second Division and finished in twenty-second place and thus were relegated back to Division 3 (South) for the next season.

Centre-half Bill Spence, who was a member of the 1949–50 First division League winning side, was a big money buy from Portsmouth in December.
