The 2013–14 Scottish League One was the 20th season in the current format of 10 teams in the third-tier of Scottish football. This was the first season of the competition being part of the newly formed Scottish Professional Football League after the merger of the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League. Queen of the South were the defending champions.
Rangers were confirmed as champions after a 3–0 home win over Airdrieonians on 12 March 2014. This secured the club's second successive divisional title and promotion to the second tier. This was the earliest anyone had secured a championship title since Partick Thistle won the old First Division in 1975–76. Rangers were presented with the trophy on 26 April after a 3–0 win against Stranraer at Ibrox.
