The qualifying process for the 1952 Thomas Cup took place from 30 June 1951 to 24 March 1952 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

The qualification process is divided into three regions, the Pacific Zone, the American Zone and the European Zone. Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Teams will compete for two days, with two singles and doubles played on the first day and three singles and two doubles played on the next day. The teams that win their respective zone will earn a place in the final tournament to be held in Singapore.{{Cite web |title=Mike's Badminton Populorum |url=http://www2.sbg.ac.at/populorum/badminton/archiv_thomascup.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160330231130/http://www2.sbg.ac.at/populorum/badminton/archiv_thomascup.htm |archive-date=2016-03-30 |access-date=2011-06-05}}
