The 1954–55 season was the 62nd season in Liverpool F.C.'s existence and their first year in the Second Division since 1905, after their relegation from the First Division the previous season.
Not only did Liverpool not make any sort of promotion challenge this season, a terrible start saw them in serious danger of relegation to the Third Division North for much of the season. A late run of form ultimately saw Liverpool safe, but their eventual finish of 11th place remains their lowest-ever Football League final position.
