The 1952 National Football League Draft was held on January 17, 1952, at Hotel Statler in New York. Selections made by New York Yanks were assigned to the new Dallas Texans.

''The Washington Post'' sportswriter Mo Siegel later claimed that Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall let him choose a late-round pick.
