Season 1945–46 was the 69th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level and the seventh (and last) season of special wartime football during World War II.

Overview

In what was to be the last Scottish football season to be played under wartime conditions, the Southern League competition was split into two divisions, with Dumbarton playing in Division B. Dumbarton finished 8th out of 16 with 26 points - 18 behind champions Dundee.

The Summer Cup was replaced for B Division teams with a Supplementary Cup, and Dumbarton reached the final only to lose out to Airdrie.

The story in the League Cup South was a familiar one, with Dumbarton failing to qualify from their section games.

As in 1919, a special Victory Cup was also played for, but for Dumbarton there was a first round exit, to Airdrie.

Finally, the Stirlingshire Cup competition was re-established, with Dumbarton falling at the semi final stage to A Division opponents, Falkirk.
