Season 1943–44 was the fifth Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed in regional football during World War II.

Overview

Dumbarton had their best performance to date in their fourth season in the Scottish Southern League. Indeed, for two weeks in October 1943 Dumbarton topped the league. However with only two wins recorded after the New Year it was a 5th place finish out of 16 that was achieved with 32 points - 18 behind champions Rangers. Nevertheless the league results included a first ever league win over Celtic at Celtic Park.

The league results were not however matched in the cups. Despite an unbeaten away record, Dumbarton failed to qualify from their section in the League Cup South.

In addition, Dumbarton suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Clyde in the first round of the Summer Cup.
