The 2023–24 Scottish Lowland Football League was the 11th season of the Lowland Football League, part of the fifth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. The Spartans were the reigning champions but were unable to defend their title following their promotion to Scottish League Two.
East Kilbride won a record-equalling third Lowland League title, following a 4–2 victory by Heart of Midlothian B – who cannot win the Lowland League as a guest club[1] – over Bo'ness United on 12 April 2024, which left Bo'ness United nine points behind East Kilbride with two games remaining.
With their scheduled matchup with 2023–24 Highland Football League champion Buckie Thistle being cancelled due to the latter not holding the relevant licence, East Kilbride faced League Two bottom-placed team Stranraer in the final. They lost 3–5 on aggregate after conceding two goals in the last five minutes of extra time in the second leg at Stair Park.[2]
Albion Rovers became the fourth club to join the league via relegation from the SPFL, having lost the previous season's League Two play-off against The Spartans. East of Scotland League champions Linlithgow Rose were promoted to the league, replacing founding league member Dalbeattie Star who were relegated to the South of Scotland League.
Rangers B withdrew prior to the start of the season.[3]

A three match round robin play-off was scheduled to take place between the winners of the 2023–24 East of Scotland Football League, the 2023–24 South of Scotland Football League, and the 2023–24 West of Scotland Football League, subject to all three clubs meeting the required licensing criteria for promotion.[4] However, as West of Scotland Football League winners Beith Juniors did not hold a licence, the play-off was then contested by the remaining two league winners – Broxburn Athletic (East of Scotland Football League) and Dalbeattie Star (South of Scotland Football League) – over a home-and-away basis.
