Dundee Violet F.C. are a Scottish football club based in the city of Dundee. Members of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they currently play in the East Region North Division. Formed in 1883, their home ground is Glenesk Park and the club colours are royal blue.

Up until the end of the 2005–2006 season, they played in the Tayside Premier League of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region.

The club won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1928–29, defeating Denny Hibs 4–0 at Dens Park after a second replay. This was due to the original tie being protested as Violet played an ineligible player, then the first replay finishing in a 2–2 draw.^[1] In doing so, "the Pansies" became the first club from Tayside to win Junior football's national cup competition.
