The 1946 VFL thirds season was the 1st season of the VFL thirds. Only 7 of the 12 VFL clubs with senior teams fielded a thirds side in the inaugural season − Collingwood, Fitzroy, Footscray, Geelong and South Melbourne did not compete. Several VFL clubs already operated thirds teams in local competitions, while others were affiliated with existing junior clubs. North Melbourne won the first grand final, defeating Carlton.

Before the advent of the U/19 competition, in 1939 Carlton's third eighteen team was Fawkner*.
