The 2023–24 South of Scotland Football League was the 78th season of the South of Scotland Football League, and the 10th season as part of the sixth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. Abbey Vale were the reigning champions, but could only finish fourth in the table.
The championship title, and qualification for the Lowland League play-off, was decided in the final fixture of the season on 8 May with Creetown and Dalbeattie Star facing off against each other at Castle Cary Park – having been postponed on 20 April due to ground issues. A 1–1 draw saw Dalbeattie Star take the title by two points, and as a result, faced Broxburn Athletic in the play-off, losing 2–12 on aggregate.
