Season 1933–34 was the 57th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 35th time and the Scottish Cup for the 46th time.

Overview

Dumbarton had their best season since their return to the Second Division 11 years earlier by finishing 6th out of 18, with 37 points – just 8 behind champions Albion Rovers. It could have so been much better, particularly with just 2 home defeats, but as with many previous seasons it was the inability to win away from Boghead which prevented any real promotion hopes.[1]

Disappointment however continued in the Scottish Cup, with another first round exit, this time to Arbroath.

Locally, Dumbarton lost the Dumbartonshire Cup to non-league Vale Ocaba.

Elsewhere 2 friendly matches were played.
